Trackball alternatives
Generic Eric:
Has anyone found an alternative for an "authentic" trackball? The largest I have seen was the atari football trackball, which I understand is 4." The first one I saw was on ebay, and it has a reserve of $100. I can't bring myself to spend that much. So I wonder what would be a good alternative, or replacement ball for the trackball.
Bigger is better right? I am hoping to find something between 3 and 4."
Thanks

I think people were modifying the COMPUSA crystal ball. also there is a section under controls on trackball alternatives.

Are they using the ball?
I want to find a bigger ball.

Well the two I've heard of are the Easy Ball by MS, and some sort of Crayola one. Both are intended to be trackballs for little kids and I hear they need some adjusting to make them feel right. I too have the dilemma of wanting a trackball on my cab but it's just too expensive to get the happs.
