Happs Trackball + Ocsar Spinner

<< < (2/2)

tellarite:
I realize you bought an oscar model one, but I just thought I'd tell you my setup:

I've got the 3" inch happs blue translucent trackball and a model 2 oscar hooked up to an optipac. This to me is the ideal solution, because with the optipac, the OS sees the trackball and spinner as one device (PS2 or usb), but the optipac has a feature where if you turn the spinner, the trackball is inoperable until you don't touch either the spinner or the trackball for 1 second. This way, you can play a spinner game or a trackball game without accidentally bumping the other control and having it mess you up.

Actually, I havn't bought them yet.  My only concern with the Optipac is that it won't be long before the serial ports on motherboards go the way of the dodo and the ISA slots (from what I understand, by the end of the year, boards will be sold without them).

But the more and more I look into this (including a few emails to Andy concerning a USB model of the OptiPac and the problems involved with such a beast because Microsoft can't seem to do anything consistant), I'm thinking about buying one of his OptiPacs regardless (hey, there's always PCI dual serial port cards!)

Plus, Oscar now has their Pro spinner, which I think is really really keen, but they have no plans on making a USB model of it.
