Where have you all been buying your arcade trackball to USB (or PS2) adaptors? For 9 bucks, the ones on Oscar Controls were a great bargain. Now what do we do? I ain't going back to hackin a mouse! Those days are over  ;)

I bought a 3" happ USB/PS2 trackball from ponyboy in the BST forum.. which I guess is great if your buying a new one.. but not so great if your wanting to convert an exsisting trackball..

It looks like the Happs parts numbers have changed.

#56-0113-00K -    PS/2 & USB Trackball Interface Kit for 2-1/4

Yes, it's possible that Happ part numbers have changed. My hard copy of their catalog is 3 years old.  :o

The only problem with the Happ interface is the fact that it's $45!!

You could just get an OptiPac for that and have access to more controls
