trackball problem
(1/10) > >>
boodroe:
I have a happcontrols trackball (usb/ps2 connection). When playing games such as golden tee that need fast trackball movement the trackball the trackball will not respond for a second it is hit to fast. It might be my imagination but it seems that the problem is getting worse and worse the more we play. I can hit the track ball fast when the curser is in windows and it will do the same thing but it seems to be much worse in MAME. Do these trackballs need to be cleaned every few months? Does anyone else have this problem?

I have also wrote about this problem.  Someone said that sometimes trackballs and mice are limited to a certain speed and wait for the ball to slow down.  I agree with that theory, but I also know that one of my trackballs that I put in a control panel worked fine at first and did progressively got worse.  It may be something that Happ should be contacted about.  Keep this thread updated to what you find.

So your saying that when you spin to fast it messes up and doesnt register the swing in golden tee? I was planning on getting a trackball today in fact from a seller on here but if the trackballs do that i really dont want one. The main reason i wanted a trackball was for golden tee. Anyone know of someone or a company that sells good trackballs?

This almost seems to be a USB/PS2 Happs trackball related issue.  I have a Happs 3" trackball connected with an optipac and I have no such problems.  Just thought I'd throw that out before you 'give up' on trackballs altogether. :)

I have the optipac set up as well, and I agree that it works with no issue.  So, GET THE TRACKBALL!!!!  If you like Golden Tee, it is the real deal.  I have only had issues with the usb version.  One came right out of the gate with the miss and the other developed over time.
