I just thought of an idea. Say if you could get the mold for one..or somehow mod it yourself - wouldn't it be possible to have and trackball and optical mouse in one?

I was thinking something like those logitech trackballs and have an optical at the bottom. Basicly fast responsive movements would be done on the trackball, slow and precise you'd move the whole mouse with your hand for control.

Yea, I came up with it while playing counterstrike. I'd snipe w/ the optical and rush w/ the trackball. Was ridiculous seeing me switch b/w 2 mice=) Hey, I've seen way more extreme things here so this should be possible.

That would be awesome, but what if you were sniping and accidentially moved the trackball?? Out the window you go!?

Use a keyboard from one of those Unisys Icon systems! ^_^ Those had a trackball, and then you could use your mouse w/o having to mod anything!

Let's see..

I took apart of of my Logitech Trackballs. The board it at the bottom. That kinda rules out "cut a hole at the bottom and place the optical these" way of doing it. I would try my microsoft intellimouse trackball but its so pretty and femme=) Don't wanna ruin it.

I'm gonna have to get get an optical mouse on friday(day aft-thanksgiving sale) and try it out.
