In Reply to: Optical Mouse w/ trackball? anyone try it yet? posted by henri on 30, 2000 at 7:55 PM:
Dont these only work with the ball that they have installed? I thought they worked by bouncing light off of the ball to sense movement. I would be worried a hack would not work properly =/
: reading about the microsoft optical mouse, it seems
: that it has much higher resolution than a regular
: mouse. plus there would be no issues w/ spacing of
: teeth in the wheels etc.
: if noone has tried it yet i might (and post something
: about it of course). if it works (which seems that
: it should) i'll try it also w/ the spinner.
: the only problem is that a mouse costs more than i
: paid for the cabinate, joysticks, buttons and spinner
: :)
