Trackball with smallest footprint?
Ed ONeill:
What about hacking a trackball mouse.
Someone did it recently and I am going to start mine soon
Just my 2 cents

I hacked a logitech marble mouse for a small cp, and it worked really nicely. I just took the top off the mouse and carved the bottom of the panel so it would fit.
Not as nice as a "real" trackball, but fully functional.

Holy crap, that one is TINY! If you ever wanted to build a 1/8 scale Centipede, that's the trackball you would use!
Thanks for the replies guys, I may go with that smaller one from Happs since it's got the USB already. It's not that much more expensive than the Happs 2 1/4 with USB.

I read that those 8mm trackballs are only like $1.50 each. I submitted a question on minimum order requirments.
I may have to order like 100,000 to get em
hope not
