..."its not smooth"...

Check your mouse driver. Some new drivers has allot of special features like acceleration settings that will ruin the linear response you want for your trackball (this has also been discussed on the board before).

Follow the link below for allot of more information about this subject.

: anyone tried hacking a usb mouse for their
: trackball/spinner interface?.

: my spinner seems ok (origional tempest hardware and
: a ps/2 mouse internals) but the trackball sucks (i
: bought one of those $10 playstation trackballs and
: hooked up a serial mouse) its most likely the size
: of the wheel/number of holes etc. its not smooth,
: and if i spin too fast in marble madness the ball
: goes the other direction :). This may sound like
: heresy, but my arkanoid game has way improved when
: i switched from the spinner to the trackball, anyone
: else do this?

: but i was wondering, after reading that the USB mice
: get a lot more signals/sec, if anyone had tried
: hacking one for a trackball or spinner

: or for that matter, if anyone had taken a USB keyboard
: apart yet. it would be kinda cool to have a single
: USB plug to stick in the pc from the cab.

: henri (who still has to put up a web page for his cab)
