mr_doles:
Thanks, I love the u360, it plays all my emulators perfectly.
I have the u360 for 6 buttons + P1/2 start on each side.  Pause and Exit are shifted to avoid accidents.  The "mouse" buttons will be coin 1/2.  I have yet to hit Tab for any reason, though I may rethink that now that I can.
Right now I use the Ultrastick mapper for the joystick and the .cfg in the ctlr folder for button mapping.  So with the OptiWiz I would do it in the .cfg and with the U-Hid I could use the U-config software to program it.
Six of one, half dozen of the other.

I seem to like products that are not popular here for some reason but mikesarcade has a nice, cheap trackball adaptor
http://mikesarcade.com/cgi-bin/store.pl?sku=AGSTBINTUSB
has USB or PS2 option and gives three mouse buttons.
Of couse, if you need more than one trackball or a spinner + trackball, go with the optipac.

Just got back from vacation at the beginning on the week and missed this reply.  That looks like it will do what I want it to do and has all the connectors with it.  Can't beat that price either.  After shipping the optipac is ~$47.00 with the cables vs ~$25.00.

Anyone else use this?  Why is this not very popular?  I am always nervous because you get what you pay for.

*bump*
Anyone else have any thoughts on the Mikesarcade adaptor?  Nervous to order based on one persons option...no offence taylormadelv.

i'm using two u360s in my cabinet, along with a optiwiz from GGG for my Utrak trackball.  in mame, you should be able to assign coin inputs to mouse buttons if that's what you want to do.  what i did was wire my coin switches to inputs on my u360s, since i had a 2 player 6 button panel, that left 2 inputs on each u360..one for coin and one for start.   i wired up player 1 buttons 5 and 6 as mouse buttons on the optiwiz.  that opened up two inputs on my p1 u360 to use as Pause and Exit.

i chose to go with the optiwiz because it was cost effective.  i am very pleased with it's performance.
