X-Arcade - Betson trackball
« on: May 04, 2006, 06:23:43 pm »
I have an X-Arcade trackball and noticed that it looks a lot like a Betson Imperial 3" trackball. Does anyone know if they are the same size with the same hole placement for mounting? I want to buy a Happ 3" mounting kit and have read in the boards that they work with the Betson trackballs but could not find comments from people using it with the X-Arcade.

Thanks

Curt

As far as I know they are using the Betson.... The same as the Groovy Game Gear one.....

Yes,
The Betson trackball is an exact fit for the Happs 3" Mounting plate. Even if the trackball is not Betson I bet it's the same size as well.

According to X-Arcade, they "make their own" trackball.  Without seeing one, I still bet they use the mold as Betson's TB.  (and ditto Arcades R Fun, too)
