Standalone USB trackball recommendation?
jasonbar:
Howdy-
I've got a big ol' Happ trackball in the middle of my control panel & couldn't justify squeezing in a second one, considering my available real estate.
There are a few 2-ball games (Marble Madness, Cabal, & Blood Brothers are all that come to mind, but I'm sure there are more...) that tempt me to have a "temporary" 2nd trackball installed, i.e., keep 2nd trackball in the cabinet & pull it out & just plop it down on top of the control panel for the rare occasions when I want to play a 2-ball game.
Any recommendations on products that will do the trick?
Thanks,
-Jason

Edit: Just noticed you wanted USB scratch my question.
I think your cheapest for a standalone USB trackball would be the X arcade http://www.x-arcade.com/trackball.shtml
It is only $50 right now.

Thanks--that looks like quite the bargain. Even cheaper than many "normal" PC trackballs I've found.
Is there a limit to how many USB "mice" you can hook up?
I'm running MAME through MALA under Windows XP & already have:
- big Happ trackball
- ACT light gun 1
- ACT light gun 2
- Tornado spinner
- Apache push/pull spinner
Adding a 2nd trackball will bring me to 6 USB "mouse" devices--eek! I've just about finished putting my control panel together at home & am configuring my MAME PC at work, so the 2 have yet to be fully hooked up to each other.
Thanks,
-J

That question might be best answered in the software forum. Right now it is a bit out of place in the Hardware Review forum.

Mame has a max of 8 mice.
