Title: Is this trackball Illuminated?
Post by: wildclay on February 27, 2012, 01:50:06 pm

Hi all!  Just have a quick question:  Can someone tell me whether or not this trackball (currently on sale on eBay by TwistedQuarter) is illuminated or not?  The picture looks like it's illuminated, or at least translucent, but I can't be sure.  The auction does not specify that it is, but in comparing the picture to other trackballs advertised as illuminated, it looks like it has the same wiring/cables, etc. (I asked TwistedQuarter via eBay but hoping for the quickest reply).

Thanks!

Dunno if that one is, but I just bought this one on eBay:

It is illuminated.  Comes with mounting plate as well.

Thanks for the quick reply, HaRuMaN!  TwistedQuarter responded shortly after I posted this, he said it is neither illuminated nor translucent.  Thank you for your suggestion; I did see the one you posted on eBay also.

Does anyone know if anyone sells translucent marble/swirl trackballs?  I think that would be pretty sweet to have a ball like that back lit.

Thanks!

Just took a look at the happ website.  The only translucent balls they have are all solid colors, no marble / swirl.

Yes it would since my CP artwork is kind of like that. The trackballl I will be using is the translucent illumination blue ball. I just ordered the blue marble 3" marble ball from him anyway to see how it will look.
