Translucent Trackball question...

Pages: << < (3/3)

MovingTarget:

I'm guessing you want a clear trackball because you want to change colors?  If that's not the case then just get a translucent ball in the color you want.  I've got a blue Happ Trans ball lit with 3 high intensity blue LEDs and it looks great.  No light spot on the ceiling and the color is evenly spread throughout the ball. 

However, I couldn't put a graphic at the bottom and expect it to be visible from the top.

Effayy:

Thanks for the replies. 

Just for a little background.... I'm building a MK Themed cab, and one day while I was avoiding work and thinking up ideas, I thoguth it'd be neat to somehow position the MK Dragon logo (cut out of black card stock or something) at the bottom of the trackball.  The LED light would still shine through the holes in the logo, and illuminate the TB, but if you looked down at the ball, you'd see the logo.

It's nothing too serious, and I don't want to invest too much dough on an idea that wouldn't work out in the end, which is why I was asking those of you who already have a clear ball.

ahofle:  That does look sweet, what product is it?

MovingTarget:  Nope, just a red LED. Well, maybe cycle different shades of red/orange/yellow to simulate the look of fire.  Who knows.

It's a custom board designed by one of the members here: whammoed.  This is the thread where he announced it:

Unfortunately, last we heard he was in the process of moving and hasn't had time to release them yet.
