REVIEW: Wico 3" Trackball.

 

"I used this ball for about 2 years without problems.  I replaced it with a translucent Happ, but not because of performance.  I opened this one up and saw that it was quite similar to my old wico atari controller, and that thing is still running today too.  All in all, I have yet to find a bad product from Wico.  Rebuild kits are available for those of you who get one of these from an old cabinet, and it doesn't spin very well. 

 Using it in conjunction with the opti-pac was a breeze.  Wire it up and off you go.  Although I never had it hooked up with the Oscar USB interface, I must assume that it would work just as well as the Happ did.  If the unit had been newer, I would have simply swapped out the ball and continued to use this housing.  If you come across one of these and think of using it in your cabinet, don't hesitate!

Final Remarks: Wish it wasn't used when I got it.

RATING 4 (OUT OF 5)
