Trackball mounting question
« on: January 25, 2008, 03:31:24 pm »
I am just getting these last few things right in my head before I tackle my control panel. The only decent priced Lexan I can find starts at 3mm thick.
Whats the best way to mount it so just the ball is showing?
Is 3mm a little thick or just about right? (Will a high ball be good for me?)

My CP will have an graphical overlay under the lexan.

Any advice greatly appreciated.
