GaryMcT's 2-player generic control panel layout
GaryMcT:
Starting to contemplate building a Defender cab from the ground up for Mame/multigame purposes and putting the Defender back to original (easy to do) and trying to figure out what is wrong with the main board (or get a JROK board). I may be signing up for something way bigger than I'm ready for quite yet. I'd better finish my control panel projects before starting that. :)

I believe you can use an actual cue ball, if you have the right size trackball housing. 2 1/4 I think
GaryMcT:
Ooh. . I'll try that. That'll give me the option to decide that I like the lit trackball, or just an actual cue ball in there! :) Thanks!

Gary,
Just curious why you would spend the extra money to buy an Electric Ice trackball if you didn't want it lighted? You can get a plain Happs trackball for about $50 less.

The Happ with a USB interface included is about $100 from what I can tell (looking at the Happ site.) I don't mind paying an extra $17 knowing that there is a good chance that I'm going to want it to be lit.
