Anyone use just a trackball mouse as trackball?
Raven..:
I have a 3" Genius Kidsball trackball. It works fine, but I also only play Centipede with it.
DannyH:
mine will mainly be golden tee. Its abig hit down here they use to be in just about every pub worth its salt!.
I think for what i want this will work. It can also serve as my mouse
versapak:
Golden Tee is where a PC trackball really fails to achieve greatness.
An arcade trackball is designed to keep rolling when pushed, where as a PC one is designed to NOT do that. It will have more resistance, and will come to a stop MUCH faster than an arcade one would, which I figure means a worse swing in Golden Tee.
I do not speak from experience though, as I have no trackball in mine, but that is the gist of what I get from reading about the subject.
DannyH:
much like the above user I plan on Modifying the trackball.
Removing the case, resisters etc and just remounting the trackball inards and trackball on my CP. I may later hook it up to microswitches if the need arrises
versapak:
Yeah, but the rollers will still be PC trackball rollers.
It is not the case that slows it down, but the bearings/rollers that the ball rolls on.
I guess it would be a low cost solution anyway, so if it doesn't work out all that well, you wouldn't be down all that much money, and an arcade trackball could then still be an option.
I am curious to hear how it works out for you, if you choose to do it.
