I'd have to agree with pink, I hacked a compusa crystal trackball...dorked it up and broke it, hacked another ($20 a piece) not to mention endless hours of getting it to work with the sideways orientation and to work with my spinner. After using it for a couple of weeks I ended up buying an imperial ball anyway. What would have been $80 turned into $120...

: having tried the compusa as well as an old pc trackball from ch products that I had, my best advice is to leave space in your cp design for a real arcade ball, and then put aside a few bucks a week until you get it. If you spend $20-$30 now, in 6 months, you will have spend 100-110 instead of just 80 when you swap it out - which you will end up doing, guaranteed.
