All real arcade trackballs come without an interface..... They were never designed to be connected to a PC. The Happ and the Betson trackballs are designed to connect directly to an arcade board, which has the interface built into it.
Both Happ and Betson also now produce a USB and PS2 version of their TrackBalls. Mostly because a lot of modern games run on slightly modified PC hardware.

Get the minipac at the reduced BYOAC price and free shipping without cables and you cannot go wrong.

I bought this encoder for my vertical Mame machine and I don't have one complaint. It is used basically for the classics and a couple of bowling/trackball games, but for the price you can't go wrong. I never experienced any ghosting problems, but I am not playing 2 player fighters either. The soldering takes a little time, but I like this one alot. I have a Hagstrom KE72-T, that I spent a small fortune on, and in price comparison, the atom encoder wins. Besides, what's 20 clams nowadays?

If you are going to be using it for a 1 player cab, I don't see how any of the blocking or ghosting could be much of an issue. 2 players is another story.
