Mini Trackballs? Possible?

<< < (2/11) > >>

transfan:
I guess I will just omit the trackball, since I don't have room for a full-size one anyway.

Thanks!

On my first cab I decased the clear CompUSA trackball, leapinlew was right as I ended up disappointed with the results.  You can control things okay but the lighter trackball and lack of freespin change the feel for games like centipede and missile command.

I use a Logitech trackball that I pull out of the coin door when needed. I have a space in the center of my control panel with enough room to place it. Works quite well for most stuff I play. One day I'll get a real one.

Comtek:
I used the same track ball. I mounted it in the control panel and it worked fine other than the spin time is short but it works quite well

I've used that same trackball as well. It's got a nice small footprint. As I recall I "overclocked" the USB port up to somewhere around 700Hz for less backspin.

Of course the ball isn't held in very tight. On at least one occasional I caused it to fly off into the screen.

I also found the downward sloping angle of the comfortable way to use the ball a little off-putting for game play.
