Ripster, Did you use quick disconnects with the sanwa switches? You wouldn't know where I could get them in the UK? Also did you go for the 2.4mm or the 3mm?

I have an issue with this ball in games sometimes where a very fine movement will occasionally leave me looking about 270 degrees the other way and straight up.  If I could sort this particular kink out, this trackball would be nearly perfect.  Anybody else solved this same problem?

You mean 24mm or 30mm. Hey, apart from Sanwa there's also Seimitsu. They have a model (the PS-15 with 30mm diameter) that's low profile, almost 1cm in overall length than the Sanwas. A photo with dimensions is here. They snap-in.

I know I like sanwas because it is what is in my hori pro.

Hmm, I must get a pair to compare to the Seimitsu's, I use mine as palm keys and they are VERY comfy:

In the UK Seimitsu's are more expensive by about 50p. I may buy both as I only need 2 and they cost couple of quid each.

Yeah, If you make a wiki I will add to it when I do my mod.

Lots of generic quick connects will fit. I just added arcade buttons to my other Advantage LF keyboard, and used these quick connects I found at a local store; they are only slightly wider that the button leads, which doesn't really matter. They attach really snug anyway:



No soldering required at all for this mod, it's very easy.

Has anyone tried rollermouse vs L trac? I have a rollermouse coming Monday and I was thinking of getting one of these too to compare.
