Translucent Trackballs
DerrickRe:
I used a Happs Clear Trackball, thinking it would light up nice. But it works more like a magnifying lens and only puts light straight up. I put a white filter over the light and it is no better. You can only see it lighting up if you stand right over it.
Do the translucent Blue or Red light up more evenly so you can see it from the side or across the room?
1UP:
Yes.
ArcadeFX:
Happ doesn't make a clear trackball? Where did you get the ball from? If you did order this from Happ please post a link to it.
If you want to sell the clear ball I will buy it off you.
RacerX:
I have a Happ translucent red trackball. I find that it does the same thing you are describing. It appears brightest when you are standing right over it. It appears dimmer when you are looking at it from a level even with my control panel.
I wouldn't exactly say that it just magnifies it, though. The red does diffuse the light so that it looks like the entire trackball is lit.
I don't find it to be a problem, in any case.
