I've been doing mouse hacks for a while Craig.... It really depends on the mouse you use.

Do you have any suggestions? USB ball mice are hard to find these days. Are Logitech's still considered unusable?

Aren't logitechs "claimed unusable" only for hacking it to connect a trackball or spinner to it? In this case the mouse will become the spinner so wouldn't every (ball) mouse work?

Shop around a bit..... I picked up a USB Ball mouse for £2 from the local supermarket and it came with a USB to PS2 converter.
There doesn't seem to be any shortage of USB mice.
In any case, it doesn't have to be a USB Mouse. You can do exactly the same with a PS2 Mouse..... you can even plug a PS2 mouse into a serial port instead by using a PS2 to Serial converter plug.

Any ball mouse will work.... but it's a question of how well they work. Some work much better than others at reading the disk. It depends how good the optic board in the mouse is. You have to try a few different ones until you find a really good one.

Fozzy,
Who manufactured this "supermarket mouse" that you recommend?
Cheers,
Craig
