Title: Trackball light...where to get one
Post by: Yoeddy1 on September 28, 2017, 08:54:11 pm: Hi guys,

For years I’ve had a mame cab with a blue translucent trackball. There’s a hole in the bottom of the trackball case which I’m assuming is to accommodate a light/led.

Well, I just want the thing to glow. Where can I get a basic led kit that will make this light up?

Thanks,
Jason

I originally was going to but something similar I saw on ebay, for 10 bucks, a few month back but they are no longer three

I used the TB lighting option when I had a U-trak.

Ordered a bunch. Coming from China...I'll report back how good they are. I have a USB hub close to my trackball, so hopefully they'll work fine.
