3" Trackball: Regular or Highball?
javeryh:
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.
javeryh:
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?

56-0100-11HL Happ High Lip Trackball. It comes stock with a white ball, you'll have to check with DM about the cost to swap out to a black ball.

Yes, you need an optical encoder, like the optipac.
