So is the Happs 3" trackball with USB worth it?

TOK:
I got the Happ USB/PS-2 combo trackball in translucent red from Tornado Terry's. It was under 90 bucks shipped at the time. Haven't experienced the lag issues with USB. Its 2 years old now, and has held up great. Definitely worth the money.

If you can get the arcade version + an encoder (optipac/optiwiz) for the same price as the USB version, I'd vote go for the seperate encoders.  (Unless you have zero room under the CP, maybe.)

If you can get the USB version for less than arcade + encoder, ehhh [shrug].  The optipac & optiwiz encoders are higher quality than happs USB board, AFAIK, so you have to ask if you want ease of install & cheaper (USB), or higher quality & better support (encoders). 

I am very satisfied with my USB optipac, and haven't had problems with my TB arcade sensor boards.

ARTIFACT:
well if it doesnt work as expected with my computer, ill ship it back to divemaster127

I also ordered a Turbo Twist 2 spinner, and I could plug a regular Happ trackball to it (and use the TT2 as an interface) IF the usb one doesn't perform as expected

good to know it's not slow/bad for everyone!

Thanks guys - I guess I'll go with whatever is cheaper - I'm leaning towards the TB + optipac solution though.
