couldn't you just mount the mouse in place upside-down?

if so, this opens a bunch of alternate designs possibilities for trackballs

Any decent optical, and any material that optical can use (different brand/technology/generation can use different materials to different degrees), and as long as the curved surface doesn't mess with the optical (again depending on which optical tech/gen), and maybe it will track fast spins.

IOW, it's been tried before for cabs, to different degrees of success, and the hardest thing to get has been the super fast spin needed to play golf type games.
