New Trackball from Happ Controls...HELP!!!
Desdinova:
I had a similar issue with one of these on an older PC. Wouldn't register at all same as you described. Using a powered usb hub (one that uses a power brick that plugs into the wall type) got it going as well as a host of other USB controllers running nice and reliably.

I just noticed a pinch in my usb line....hopefully problem solved

If the TB has a metal frame, you should connect a ground wire from the TB frame (there should already be one) to the cabinet frame ground to bleed off any static charge that the TB might generate.
Otherwise, this might happen. :angry:

I wonder if a wire may be open then.
You may wanna try pinning it out with a meter

As others have stated, I've also seen this with either a bent/not fully connected USB cord or an older computer whose USB ports weren't "up to snuff". In all of my cases I've made sure all USB cords were good to go and tried a powered USB hub and was then 100% good to go.
