if you are in the US you can get it for the same price from wico direct... *shrug* FWIW (but all the cool people buy from andy, so...)

People in the USA have been able to buy this trackball much cheaper than in Europe for a while, so Europe is where I would expect most sales of these to come from.
Ironically these trackballs are made in Europe...

i know happs has a 2 1/4 tb plate. i haven't seen any others.

does this tb even need it?

just curious, i'm getting ready to get a couple of these for some projects i have on tap and would like to know if i need to figure in a tb mounting plate into the control panel.

thanks
