I searched but everything that had the word hack and mouse in it came up.  Any idea?

But really, for the price, just get this.

$15 plus shipping?  I wouldn't say it's worth it.

The mouse hack is so easy, and everyone has an old mouse laying around...

FYI, I was never able to get it to work on the two Compaq (made by Logitech) mice I tried.  Once I found a cheap generic mouse, it worked perfectly.

I tried this one and it worked great.  I used a Microsoft mouse just like the one in the pics.  The PCB was a little different though.  The trick was to find the +5Vdc from the mouse PCB and make sure it was still +5Vdc when the trackball leads were connected.  Good Luck... :cheers:
