AndyWarne:
To all those who have been waiting for the LED kits for the U-Trak trackball, they are now in stock.

Any pictures of how this mounts to the tracball?
Any pictures showing the colors? How many possible colors?

Ditto. I'm ready to pull the trigger and buy one of these things, but I'd really like to see some photos of the lighting and (especially) some close ups of the bezel after the utrak has been mounted. Andy? Anybody?
Turnarcades:
The U-trak is a very good 'ball and doesn't require much (if any) bedding in. It has a nice form and the lack of plate or bolts on the surface is definitely a plus. I meant to do a full review recently but have not had enough time. The only thing I would say is that of the two I've so far mounted, both sat just shy of the 18mm (3/4") MDF surface when mounted flat on the underside. This is apparent from the trim bezel which, as I believe, should fit flush with the lip around the ball. Next time I use one I would probably do away with the trim bezel and very slightly chamfer the edges of the hole so the slightly lower ball lip wouldn't be noticeable. Here are a few shots I took of the translucent ball on a (rather dirty!) panel I built recently:

That's a shame. It will be even more apparent when using 3/4" MDF as its 19.05mm thick. You would have thought to please most camps (imperial+metric) Andy would have made the boss somewhere between the two. Theoretically you could route out the underside of the panel but I thought the whole principle of the U-Track was easy, simple mounting.
