Title: x-arcade trackball
Post by: saintjo on July 08, 2005, 11:13:21 am

This thing was announce 2-3 years ago. Any idea if it is ever going to be actually sold?

Also, I am looking for a good usb or ps2 trackball soluction for my cabinet. I have an x-arcade 2 player joystick mounted in it. I figured the x-arcade trackball would at least match, but anyone have any other good solutions?

I have a spare 3" Imperial trackball with built-in PS2 connector. It's bascially an arcade trackball that plugs directly into acomputer. It's used, but still good as new if you're interested.

Don't bother trying to IM me through AIM. I've had other people try it before, but it never seems to work. The messages send, but I never receive them. You can email me, though. My AIM account is actually a full AOL account. Just send me a message there.

If you were going to make me guess, I'd say it's for the same reason lots of products never make it to the shelves. They just don't perceive a high enough of a demand.

About three months ago, I was told by the X-Arcade hotline that they were trying to solve a supplier issue with the trackballs.

If anyone has 3" trackballs for sale, e-mail me at sioux_fan@hotmail.com  I  am looking for 3 of them.
