Title: insearch of very cheap trackballs!!
Post by: jippie on February 27, 2007, 09:15:15 am

My cab is missing 2 trackballs. I really don't want to pay 2 x $80.
So I'm looking for cheaper solutions.

So what alternatives are there?

The whole thing if at the right price(under $40 each).
Or a clever hack of some sort to make it from scratch is also good.

Size I think 3" would be right.

They are still sitting here.
