Translucent Red Happ ball is ugly unlit!

<< < (3/5) > >>

jarrett:
I replaced my red 3" trackball with the translucent red one.  I had the same reaction when I took it out of the box, but once I put a red LED under it, the thing looks gorgeous (and it's almost too bright and too red now).

My old red trackball is rolling around in my spare parts bin at the moment.  I'd be willing to let it go cheaply if you decide to give up on the translucent one.

TOK:
Jarrett, did you get the red LED from Happs, or somewhere else? Also, what did you use to mount it? I see there is a little mounting hole in the plastic below the ball.

I'd like to just get stuff local to do it if possible, but every time I do that I seem to wind up running around for 5 hours!  :P

You only really need 2 LEDs under your trackball to light it up well. I ordered a 4 LED system to put under my Blue trackball and had to disconnect 2 of the LEDs becuase of the extreme brightness. Blue looks good unlit too.

Kev at retroblast covered this too.  Hope this helps you:
