My big hairy ball.

That's if my previous suggestions aren't classy enough!

Havok · « **Reply #81 on:** February 07, 2008, 12:32:28 am »

How about the "Ulti damn I wish I got this out before Randy's new balls came out Trak"?

that's probably why we're getting a sneak preview now...

Havok · « **Reply #83 on:** February 07, 2008, 01:39:15 am »

Yep - that's what I figured...

patrickl · « **Reply #84 on:** February 07, 2008, 06:26:21 am »

Or "Ultra this new mounting method is a bit more than just making a matte ball shiny when the ball should have been glossy to begin with Trak"

Hot linking can lead to problems...obviously. Most of the time, it's better to upload the file you want and display it that way. I didn't think that you wanted to post that picture.... Pretty shocking.

patrickl · « **Reply #91 on:** February 07, 2008, 01:43:55 pm »

Did it show balls at least?

Game-boi · « **Reply #92 on:** February 07, 2008, 04:58:17 pm »

Doh! I missed all the commotion...hey guys, keep in mind, mistakes happen and this IS the INTERNET...It's no coincidence that the any joke about the internet includes finding porn everywhere...

First time is always forgiven, preventing a second time is key (and expected).

AndyWarne · « **Reply #93 on:** February 08, 2008, 04:33:00 pm »

Ok thats probably enough names hehe...
Grabbed a picture of the white translucent ball, illuminated. Just used the LED bayonet fitting from one of our Ultralux buttons, stuck into the hole underneath the ball. So just one standard LED. Note this is the white ball not the red!
The picture is as shot, except for cropping

Green LED

waveryder · « **Reply #94 on:** February 08, 2008, 05:11:15 pm »

Holy crap! excuse my language but that is from 1 LED!!! Andy is this ball only suitable for wooden panel mounts as it appears? Are you going to offer a similar system for use metal Control Panel owners? If you do you gotta a guaranteed purchase of 2 trackballs right here.

rrcade · « **Reply #95 on:** February 08, 2008, 05:27:56 pm »

That's just what I was thinking....what about metal control panels?

As for a name call it the BARGIN BALL and sell it Really cheap!!

torcer · « **Reply #96 on:** February 08, 2008, 05:33:33 pm »

I don't care what you call it, but I'll be buying it w/i the next 6 months for my new Cabinet.

patrickl · « **Reply #97 on:** February 08, 2008, 05:40:01 pm »

What looks better with the red light, the white ball or the red ball? Or would you light the red ball with a white light?

AndyWarne · « **Reply #98 on:** February 09, 2008, 11:28:22 am »

The red ball looks fabulous when lit with the red LED. It also looks great when not lit.

Here is the LED by the way...

DoctorWHO · « **Reply #99 on:** February 09, 2008, 03:17:08 pm »

mushmouth · « **Reply #103 on:** February 11, 2008, 12:41:53 am »

No mounting plate? Naked?

The name is so obvious:

The Ultimarc FreeBall

jlfreund · « **Reply #106 on:** February 14, 2008, 05:15:13 pm »

Does translucent ball imply that it will be illuminated (through USB power)?

I'd also be interested in seeing mounting instructions posted -- do you need bolt heads sticking up on top of your CP?

Hey Andy, I just received Randy's white translucent 2.25" ball. Can you send me one of yours to make a head-to-head review ?

patrickl · « **Reply #109 on:** February 15, 2008, 10:04:13 am »

Would a 3" ball fit in a centipede?

Level42 · « **Reply #110 on:** February 15, 2008, 10:58:35 am »

No. Is the Ultimarc 3" only ?

Avrus · « **Reply #111 on:** February 21, 2008, 05:33:53 pm »

So what's the verdict on the name?

I've got a cab to build ---gosh-darn--- it!

brandon · « **Reply #114 on:** February 24, 2008, 02:16:45 am »

how about the classic from SNL

HAPPY FUN BALL!

"Warning: Happy Fun Ball Contains a liquid core, which, if exposed due to rupture, should not be touched, inhaled, or looked at. "

fjl · « **Reply #115 on:** February 24, 2008, 06:44:45 am »

u720

Since it can do 360 turns in both the x and y directions.

So basically 360 times 2 = 720

Or u720

Would sound cool for someone to say, "I went all out and got me a pair of u360's and a u720 for my arcade CP."

U standing for Ultimarc of course.

Can also be u720TB(track ball)

By the way, will it be LedWiz compatible?

efjayel,

I've already suggested "U720".

It's nice to see you agree it has a ring to it.

Here's my one & only post, for naming suggestions of Ultimarc's new trackball :

Quote from: txtworld on February 02, 2008, 03:42:15 pm

Fitting in with the theme of the UltraStik 360, which is also known by its abbreviations as the UltraStik or U360 ...

How about ...

UltraTrak 720

... which could also be known by the following abbreviations :

UltraTrak, U720

RetroBorg · « **Reply #117 on:** February 25, 2008, 02:42:43 am »

So Andy, how far away are these from sale and what will be a ball park price?

Liar! You just want credit for my awesome name idea!

How about u1080?
That sounds even cooler than u720.

I think he should call it...
