Sounds like a normal trackball to me. Use Andys Opti-PAC (should work as it is right now since the trackball only has the optical switch modules and no extra chip) or hook it up to a regular mouse (follow the link below to read about how).

: Ok, there is only the circular silver thingy (optical?) and one resistor, and the plug that connects to it...on each side.

: So, am i stoked or what?

: : Have a look at the small PCBs with the optical switch. If the PCB contains ONLY the optical switch module and, maybe a resistor or two then it's going to work. If it has any chips on it it may not (for now)
