It should be fairly easy (I've been doing lots of research on mice lately also). Just hookup the quadrature outputs of the trackball's encoders to the pic chip in the mouse. Only problem I see could be if the number of slots in the encoders are different between the mouse and trackball...which may cause it to be more/less sensative.

: I got 3 brand new compaq mice off ebay for 5 bucks :) was going to wire the optics output to a mouse. I have done a bit of reading on it and it doesn't seem all that difficult. If I am wrong, whatever... at least it will be a learning experience for the project afterwards.
