Purple Translucent track ball?
Farmboy90:
Do you think those will work? I mean are the weights and materials similar enough?
Kremmit:
I'm pretty sure other members have succesfully used them. I dunno how much they weigh, but I'm also not sure it would matter much. Maybe for Golden Tee ball slammers it would change the spin time, but for regular games, I doubt a weight change would make much difference, unless it was to the extremely heavy side.

No. What makes the blue ball blue is that it only allows blue light to pass through it. It will not pass red light. Also, red light + blue light = magenta light...which is essentially purple, I suppose, but technically you need more green to make what you'd consider "purple." A clear ball with a purple LED is probably your best bet.
jopenner:
I don't know if the acrylic balls would work or not. I'd be concerned that they would not grip the X and Y axis rollers properly.
Has anyone here used them before?
As for the lazer LED's, I'd go for the cluster set as they may be able to fit over the hole in the bottom of the trackball. The rectangular ones are 1 1/2" wide, which would only allow partial light to enter the hole. Make sure you get a resistor to bring the voltage down.

Ok, fine, make me search. Here's just a few threads where members report that they work well. You can search for "Juggling Ball", and you'll find a bunch more.
