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...? edit-add url |
