Just a trackball
shmokes:
Hmm...This would probably be a bad idea, but you could try some automotive paint to get a chrome effect. It'd probably end up wearing off onto your rollers over time and ruin your trackball unit, though. Or not.

Get a machine shop to machine a 3" sphere out of aluminium. You could then get it nickle plated. It would look just like chrome. Hell after the nickle plate you could get it chromed.
I have no idea what this would cost or how a metal ball would work in a trackball.
AlanS17:
Metal? Sounds like a really heavy trackball. When you're finished playing your games you can go in the backyard and practice your shotput!

I'm pretty sure on certain sized trackballs you can just use a pool ball... is that correct?
