| VonnerNIX:
Hello all. I have an old Dell ball mouse that plugs into the PS/2 mouse port. It appears to be some type of Logitech board inside. I have taken it apart and tried to determine which places to solder the wires for the vertical and horizontal control. On the optical sensor it has 4 leads.....which ones do I use? I would hate to pick 2 of them and plug it in to test and ruin my computer. Does anyone have any suggestions as to which ones I need to use? I do not have the Betson trackball yet, I am just trying to get a head start for when it gets here. See the picture attached. |

The Dell/Logitech mice won't work as a mouse hack. Sorry. |

Honestly I would recommend giving up, I waisted 2 mices, and then grabbed a Opti-Wiz from GGG for $15 and gives me Z-axis for future spinner and 3 buttons. |

Great. Thanks for the information. For whatever reason I was thinking they were quite a bit more expensive. I'll be sure to go that route from now on, knowing that it will work properly out of the box. |

Will a USB mouse work? If so, Ive got one that has been stripped, all you got to do is solder the wires to it. (I havent tested it, but I hacked one identical to it and it worked, so Im pretty sure it will.) You can have it for the postage, just PM me if you want it.. |
