Mini Trackballs? Possible?
transfan:
Is there anything stopping one from using an actual trackball mouse (like a trackman), removing the case, and mounting it to a control panel?
my CP does not have a lot of space, and I would love to have access to a mouse on the cp.
However, would it work well for trackball-based games?
If not, any other ideas? I don't have much room for a 3" trackball
I've seen other hacks like deoderant balls to the same end.

I'm not stopping you, if you are asking...
go for it, try it out. post the details, etc etc etc

I was just wondering if anyone else had tried this before with successful results? I would hate to waste the money buying a trackball for it not to work.

I would imagine it would feel kinda weird for a while adjusting to playing with a smaller ball, but I see no reason why it wouldn't be possible. Give it a try and see how it goes.

Yes, long before we had several trackball suppliers, people used trackball mice. There was a specific model designed for young kids that was especially useful. I believe it was made by Crayola. Once your done piddling around trying to get it to work, you'll see why no one does it anymore. Same for keyboard hacks.
