my question was actually legitimate...
does the v2 ball have the same weird smell as the v1 ball...?

Uhhh, it's odorless? But so were the other ones ( I can't believe you made me sniff my balls ).
But the earlier parts were made of a material that is a tiny bit absorptive, which means that it is theoretically possible to pick up odors depending on the surroundings.
I hesitate to ask, but what does it smell like? Plastic? Something else :dunno
The new balls are completely different. They are literally the same as the stock white balls that normally come with a trackball (not the lighter, less dense material like you see with a lot of the translucents out there) but the color and translucency has been formulated to my specifications. I stress tested a ball made of this material once on a concrete floor. It bounced off the floor, hit a 15 ft ceiling, bounced around a bit more and had only a tiny pock mark because the concrete was rough. If you are disappointed by these, you want to be.

it smells kind of like a mixture of weed killer and bug spray... :dunno
anyone else's smell like that...?

Mine is working just fine, so I'm going to refrain from sniffing it. Thanks.
;D

Very very nice !
This would be especially great for applications where the original trackball was white, but where you want to add a twist, like with Centipede :) Combine it with an ICE button and you got the perfect match....nice and original looking when off, some extra spice in looks when turned on :D
So, is there an option to buy the ball only ? (2.25")
And I'd appreciate a picture when lit red :)

Ball sniffer!
Just checked mine out, and it's odorless. Fortunately, nobody witnessed me sniffing my big 3 inch ball...
;D
