I should clarify, that isn't mine in the photo. I stole it from Google. But mine has the stock trackball in it, yes.Ratfink wrote: ↑What, are you saying that isn't a nice clean cue ball in it already?
Yes, exactly. Maybe a clear cue ball with a fake fish in it is my dream.seebart wrote: ↑vivalarevolución wants to "pimp it".

IIRC, some special reflective coating has to apply to the replacement pool ball before it can work properly in a Kensington Expert Mouse.
Try the #8
p.s. Oh, yours is the vintage Kensington, probably not optimal. What a simple solution you can have for swapping in another trackball.

Special reflective coating? Did you mean for the modern Kensington Expert Mouse? Or the vintage one that I have?Menuhin wrote: ↑IIRC, some special reflective coating has to apply to the replacement pool ball before it can work properly in a Kensington Expert Mouse.
