| 3" Trackball: Regular or Highball? |
| << < (2/4) > >> |

So if I understand correctly, there's: 1. Regular 3" trackball with 1/16" lip 2. High-Lip 3" trackball with 3/16" lip 3. High-Ball 3" trackball with 1/16" lip Hmmm.... |

Get the High Lip. |

OK, high-lip it is. Just so I'm clear, I plan on recessing the 1/16" mounting plate into the control panel and adding 1/8" wood veneer on top (which should sit flush with the 3/16" trackball lip). Then I'll add 1/8" plexi/lexan on top of that and bevel the edge towards the trackball. I've attached a pic - if I'm way off I'd appreciate someone letting me know... Finally, can anyone point me in the right direction on the Happ site to the high-lip ball? I need a part number for divemaster. Also, the ball has to be black. Thanks!! :cheers: |

Great thread! :applaud: I'm at this same decision making moment myself. Here's the link for the high lip: http://www.happcontrols.com/trackballs/56010011.htm I asked DM a few weeks ago and we can get the high lip with a translucent blue TB. So hopefully he can get black as well. Question: getting this particular high lip trackball, do you need the opti-pac to connect it? |

It comes stock with a white ball, you'll have to check with DM about the cost to swap out to a black ball. --- Quote from: Lakersfan on August 29, 2007, 10:11:55 pm ---Question: getting this particular high lip trackball, do you need the opti-pac to connect it? --- End quote --- Yes, you need an optical encoder, like the optipac. |
