How do I connect a Happ trackball to my PC? It has been a while.

unclet:
I am assuming I need to have a USB mouse so I can connect the wires from the trackball to the mouse wires somehow then I can connect the USB plug into my Hub and it should work .... right?

If so, how do I connect the wires from the trackball to the mouse PCB?  Any pictures showing how to do this?   Any other way to connect a trackball to the PC?

Here are some pics of the trackball.

Looks like you need a optipac from ultimarc to hook your tb to, if you tb is not usb

Several ways will work. 


* optiwiz (GGG) - $15
* optipac (Ultimarc) - $40 (more features than optiwiz)
* UHID (Ultimarc) - $35-$80 (tons of features)
* Mouse hack - FREE-$10 (cheapest and not hard)

#5) Mikes arcade trackball adaptor. You might have to hack wires if the molex connectors don't match.

wiki page re: optical encoders.
See 'Relevant Link at bottom of page for mousehack pdf.

Easy to do but for the price of an optiwiz or mikesarcade...?
