This controller replaces your standard mouse for many
games that benefit from a trackball. Golf games such as Tiger Woods PGA
Tour™, Golden Tee™, and Links™ are far more exciting with this
unit than with just the standard PC mouse. And with the
MAME emulator, you can also
play many classic games such as Centipede, Missile Command, Marble
Madness and Millipede. The recent Shuffleshot is even more addicting
with this controller.
The brand new 3"
Betson Imperial
arcade trackball inside is the
very same one found in commercial Golden Tee cabinets, with the
addition of a six foot long PS/2 plug. The buttons are Happ Ultimate pushbuttons, guaranteed for 10,000,000 presses. These are
not cheap knockoff parts but the very same high quality parts used
for many years in the arcades. The professionally milled, melamine
construction is designed and built with game play as well as durability in mind.
It is extremely simple to setup. Just a single
PS/2 plug connects to the mouse port on your PC, replacing the mouse.
Nothing to install. Windows will see it as a three-button mouse.
You may select the buttons colors from red, white, black, green,
blue, yellow or purple. See bottom of page for controller examples.

The controller is CNC cut from
5/8" black melamine-covered
medium density fiberboard (MDF) and is a solid 8 lbs. It is 3-1/2"
sloped to 4-3/8" tall x
16" wide x 10-1/2" deep, making it suitable for use on your desk or table.
All exposed surfaces are covered in thick melamine, with matching black
T-molding on the edges. The controller rests on T-molding,
affording protection for any surface it rests on. This product is designed to provide years of
reliable fun. It also travels well, as it recently provided some
needed evening relaxation via Tiger Woods Golf during a recent business
trip.
Note regarding laptops:
Many newer laptops do not come with
a PS/2 port. In order to use the Ultra-trackball you need a PS/2 port. If
your laptop does not have a PS/2 port, you'll require an
additional PS/2(F)-to-USB(M) adapter. These adapters are available at
your local electronics store or
MonoPrice.com. This is only a concern if your laptop does not have a PS2
port. Desktop users are unaffected.
