where does this go?

my happ trackball has 4 pin connectors like these on the optic boards, will those plug into these? also, thats a static ground. I believe its okay to just wire it to cab

*edit* from ultimarc: The Happ trackballs have a green ground wire. This is to prevent static buildup and can be connected to any convenient ground point.
