SirPoonga:
I haven't read through the whole thread yet but if someone already has a trackball and just wants the translucent ball can that be done?

But you can get the new Trackball with the LED's in a kit for not to much more then getting just a translucent Trackball.

No! Not a good idea.... Hook it to a PC drive cable power lead.

Actually, it all depends on what else is on the port. USB is rated at 500ma so *if* the only thing you have on that port is the trackball and maybe 1 other interface, you could even tap into the 5v going to the TB interface to run the light.
Keep in mind also that the 240ma is the figure for full-on, or white. If you are running it red or blue or even a combo for a different color, current requirements will be quite a bit less.

Oops - I'm combining control panels. Actually, I will only have the Optiwiz, no GPWiz on that panel. Plus, I am looking at running it blue (I know, but I LIKE the black\blue look :P)
So, I should be ok. I'd rather not tap into the pc power, as that will be another cable to worry about. My setup has all usb hot swappable panels, and I would like to keep it at just one cable connection when swapping.
On a separate note: will the new trackball come with a cable to connect to the Optiwiz?
Now I need to talk to my accountant to get the funds to purchase more goodies.
Mrs. Havok? Yes, I do need these...

This trackball comes with one pre-attached and ready to go.
