I have seen installations of trackballs where there are no mounting plates (or the plates are on the underside.) This more low-profile design is something I'd like to go for on my panel. I think for my panel I've settled on the Imperial 3" trackball and an Oscar spinner.
1. Are there any advantages to having a mounting plate on the top of the panel? Or does it just get in th way?
2. Are there any technical limitations in getting an Imperial trackball or Oscar spinner installed without a visible mounting plate?
3. (semi unrelated) Can I buy two knobs for my Oscar spinner and interchange them? Or is the knob permanently mounted on the spinner?
Thanks.
