I would like to add a 2.25" trackball and possibly a spinner to my CP, problem is my CP is about the same size as a Centipede CP, 170mm by 660mm (6.5" x 26"), in reality the max usable space is 15cm deep.
Here is a pic of the top.
Here is a pic of the bottom, I have mounted my IPAC below the CP to gain space.
Side shot showing reduced depth.
The problem is in that using a trackball mounting plate that means I can't use any of the middle 15cm for any other buttons so the 1p/2p buttons will need to move left or right and obviously there is no space for the spinner.
At the moment I would be prepared to lose the spinner if I could get the trackball in.
Has anyone had similar problems which they have solved? Or any suggestions would be helpful.
Can I buy a trackball mount and then chop off the top and bottom so it is the same diamond shape as the trackball? Or otherwise fit it without a mounting plate?
Also, is there some way of assigning a couple of buttons to be mouse clicks with an IPAC?
