I know I'm joining this conversation a bit late, but I've done exactly what you've been talking about darkmanx. I had 3/4 MDF from an kitchen counter scrap, and I completely cut out a rectangle the size of the crystal trackball control panel. I tried routing at first, but couldn't get the ball raised up enough. I took some pieces of wood and attached the control panel to the wood, and the wood to the MDF, playing around until I got it to sit high enough, but not so high that the runners/light chopper thingies would bump the 1/8 acrylic (spraypainted black underneath) I placed over the top with a hole cut in just the right place, which was tough. (I still had to file the hole to expand it a bit, so it looks a little rough) Like you, I'm still looking for a ring to go over the top of the lexan and make it look a bit nicer, but it's perfectly functional now. Let me know if this needs more explanation, or a pictures!
