Need help with arcade trackball hookup.
newbielife5:
First I'd like to say hi to everyone i just joined this forum, but have been lurking for a while.
I have a problem trying to find a good mouse to hook up my trackball, I bought one and hooked it up
but now when I plug it in the mouse goes straight to the side and jumps around when moved, still staying on the sides.
I'm guessing this is the mouse? Can anyone recommend a specific mouse to use? Also I'm using a laptop with no PS/2 inputs
so i have to use USB. Please help thanks.

Hi and welcome,
I'm sure someone will be able to give you some guidance here.
But first can you clarify alittle maybe post some pics.
What I think you're explaining is that you have a USB trackball for games and you also have a Usb mouse. when you plug in the mouse, the cursor kicks to the side of the screen and stays there just jumping a bit.
Is that whats going on?

thanks, sorry let me explain. I bought a trackball and am trying to do the mouse hack to hook it up, i tried with one mouse already but when plugged in it does the weird jumpy thing. So I don't know what to do, is it the trackball or mouse?

I've never done a trackball to mouse hack, but I'd guess that you have something crossed or generaly hooked up wrong.
Here's another thread about a mouse hack
