The Happ 3" translucent "red" trackball looks extremely orange when it isn't lit up.

i dont think it would look red enough next to the orange buttons and t-molding though.

maybe you can replace the ball with a 3" hard acrylic contact juggling ball.

Looks a little orange-ish to me.

Get an electric Ice trackball from Groovy Game Gear. You can set the rgb led to glow orange.

I did stumble upon a real orange translucent TB when I was building the Flyercade but I think it's a rarity. Easily the nicest TB I've ever seen, seems to go for miles when you look down on it. I think the Electric Ice ball would produce similar results..

If you're going for an orange theme check out Ponyboy's thread for some amazing orange Super joys!

The orange translucent one I had for a while was out of an Atari casing, I think a Crystal Castles. I sold it on here a while back.

if you have a 2-1/4" trackball, a standard size billiard ball will fit in there nicely

i have a 3" trackball already in the control panel. the one in the ebay link is a tranlucent red one. i think id buy one of those orange juggling balls before the red one though. has anyone used one of the juggling balls? how well do they work in a trackball housing?
