U-Trak review with pics and vids ***UPDATED WITH FINAL RESULTS***
eds1275:
I recently ended up mounting the U-Trak. At first, I used the inserts. Then I decided that maybe I should get a stronger mounting system for my own piece of mind and ended up using 1/4 bolts with countersunk T-nuts, which ended up needing me to drill out some of the plastic on the u-trak to make it fit. It is rock solid now.

Is it mainly to play the games that require it or is it used to control the mouse on the OS to launch applications?
I'm a noob when it comes to making cabs so I'm trying to learn as much as possible before posting a huge thread of questions lol.

Unless you're smashing your hand down in anger on the thing, I doubt it's going anywhere. Even then, you're going to ---fudgesicle--- yourself up.

Yeah I figured it was overkill, but better safe than sorry I suppose.
