trackball dilemma...MODIFIED: need review of Electric ICE-T trackball

<< < (2/2)

DashRendar:
I have a Mameroom control panel; I'll need to measure the thickness of it and the plexi when I get home.

Regarding buttons for the trackball- do you use those basically for Windows (ie, double mouse clicks etc)?

Epyx:
The 3" RGB upgrade kits fits very nicely in the Betson Imperial/Xgaming trackball...plus with the X Gaming you get 4 mouse buttons and USB support.

Ive mentioned it a few times before but the one exception to Xgaming parts is their trackball...its mod friendly...4 screws->lift top->remove old ball and put the GGG upgrade..screw closed, It's USB so no fussing and its cheap in price but feels sturdy...again its a clone of the Betson Imperial which I have always been a fan of.

i use my mouse buttons for lots of things.  i dont have dedicated mouse buttons like some people, because i didn't see the need for them, plus i didn't want the extra clutter.  the way i have it set up, player 1's buttons 5 and 6 are wired up as left and right mouse buttons.  i just configure mame to use the mouse buttons for these inputs, and they function just like any other button in games that use that many buttons (mostly fighters).  however when i need mouse buttons (for admin stuff, configuring the front end, windows stuff) i have them.

Good advice there.  I would prefer to order from Randy, but since he's out of stock, had to get the X-Arcade trackball, which I'll modify with his Electric Ice kit.

Hopefully I'm not sacrificing too much in the way of quality...
