Translucent Trackballs
1UP:
I originally tried a clear acrylic ball in my Kidsball, but I didn't the way it magnified the PCB and every little bit of hair or dust that had collected inside.

Hey 1up thanks for the high intensity led idea.
I had been lighting mine with an automotive flexible reading lamp. after hearing you say you illuminated yours with leds I went to Radio $hack and eight bucks later I have a really cool lighted Tball with no heat problems & you don't have to worry about the light burning out for oh 20 years or so!
Thanks

I found the cheapest, simplest and good working solution for lighting my blue trackball.
A simple plug-in night light bought at one of those "Everything $1" stores.
I mounted it under the trackball to the base of the cab with a velcro strip. It is plugged into a 4' household lightduty extension cord and that runs to my power strip. So the light comes on along with the rest of the cab when the main power is switched.
Just thought I'd offer a super cheap solution since we all know how much $$ our cabs can end of costing.
