Spinner and Trackball Suggestions
« on: September 16, 2005, 02:36:01 pm »
Does anyone have any brand suggestions for a spinner and trackball? I'm using USB elsewhere so that would be fine here. Thanks!

I'm using a Betson Imperial PS/2 Trackball. Works well

The Tornado spinner is USB and is top notch in my book.

I love my Oscar V2... but he's not selling that many these days...

And as for the trackballs...  Depends on the amount of money you have... Happs 3" are great...but 90 bucks... and you can get a good 2 1/4 for like  $35

I got my trackball NIB on eBay for $50. 3" Betson Imperial PS/2 Trackball. Works just like a PS/2 mouse

I got the Happs 3'' trackball.  Its not installed yet, but it is perfect.  I love how real arcade trackballs have the weight to them that pc trackballs don't.
