Recently I discovered that 'MCA' joysticks (the most common joystick used in Australian arcade cabinets back in the day) were very similar to the way you've made this trackball - ie that they had a longer neck and could be mounted neatly from underneath through a simple hole in the control panel. Unfortunately MCAs are no longer made. MCAs' didn't even need skirts.

Are there any joysticks currently on the market that are like this? Perhaps your next challenge as a companion product to this trackball? :)

One of Industrias Lorenzo's joysticks is designed like that.

Andy was going to send me something IIRC :D

But that was until I mentioned the 2.25" size of the Centi trackball :D

I can certainly provide one for review. Drop me an email or PM. I cant remember what the 2.25" issue was...

Well the U-track is 3" right ? And we were discussing translucent balls and lighting them. I had installed a GGG ICE V2.0 translucent ball in my Centipede trackball, which is of course a 2.25" trackball.

Think you considered having the balls made in 2.25" as well. I can't really give a 3" trackball a fair review as I don't have a cab in which I can test it. My Mame cab is in storage and doesn't have the CP space for it.

Anyway, I'd love to compare the 2.25" ball (if/when it's there) with the GGG and some other balls.

I'm confused, don't GGG ICE trackballs come in 3" too?

This URL says they do

Hurray Banana:

I love it.

Can you show us some example images showing this mounted in wood panels?

Centipede trackball = 2.25"
Electric ICE trackball = 2.25" OR 3"
U-trak = 3"

I never claimed anything else did I ?
