I became interested in an after-market trackball when I realized my scoring potential for the Crystal Castles game was being reduced by the trackball that came with the cabinet. The original trackball is fine for very casual play, but I wanted the best chance possible to reach later screens / maps I could never archive back in the 80s arcades. ^.^ Based on about an hour’s worth of research across various Arcade 1-Up modding community web sites this trackball was mentioned frequently as a great balance of cost & quality. I’m not very skilled in electronics work but a couple of YouTube videos made me confident that I could perform the trackball swap on my own. All you’ll need beyond the new trackball itself is a Phillips head screwdriver (to remove the 15 screws), and a selection of flat-head screwdrivers (to pry the original trackball from the cabinet control deck once the screws are removed — since the trackball housing is also slightly glued into place — and also to pry the new trackball case open because you have to remove a jumper). The three (3) most challenging parts of the install for me were : 1. removing the electrical connection between the original trackball & the control deck’s printed circuit board (since it seemed to be slightly glued into place … but some gentle back-and-forth wiggling eventually solved the problem) 2. prying the original trackball away from the glue securing it to the control deck (the flat head screwdrivers were very useful with this step) 3. removing the jumper from *inside* the new trackball housing (there is a jumper inside the unit designed for ensuring proper input latency for compatibility with legacy devices, and you absolutely 100% _don’t_ want to leave this jumper in place for use in an Atari Legacy Tempest cabinet … trust me! ^.^ … the printed instructions that come with the trackball point out how to find this jumper) From start to finish this successful install took about 90 minutes (and as I mentioned before I’m not skilled with this sort of work). Within three games played of Crystal Castles using this new trackball I’d added 10,000 points to my previous high score. This little modding project has been a great experience, and has also given me a wonderful sense of satisfaction that I made this great piece of tech nostalgia work even better … just like my memories from the 80s arcades! Oh, did I mention you get to select the glow color for this trackball? ^.^ I opted for blue, to carry over from the Tempest livery on the cabinet side panel artwork.

Great looking and works great for Atari Legacy 12 in 1 Tempest cabinet. The original Arcade 1up trackball that came with it was garbage and started sticking 2 days after I got it which was a real disappointment. Glad this one was available and at a reasonable price. This looks and works way better and the blue led light inside looks cool. Only bad part the installation was not plug and play. You have to open the trackball open to pull the tumbler switch. Not so hard but it was not mentioned if you un clip the trackball housing with the ball facing down the entire insides falls out when you open it. That cost me an additional hour installation trying to reverse engineer how the insides are supposed to go back together. I had to open the Arcade1up trackball to see the internals to compare how the new trackball went back together. There should be a warning sticker saying open unit with trackball facing up . I’m betting this has happened to many. Other confusing part in the directions it says you have to hook the stock spinner cord to the new trackball for it to work and that was not the case for me. The cable harness didn’t even fit the new trackball and it worked fine without hooking it up. Mines is the 2020 model non lit riser so maybe the newest version you have to do that step Otherwise a great product definitely worth the 35$!,

Nothing beats a bearing type trackball. I've used trackballs for about four a long time, and I've had trackballs that just have their optical sensors held in place by a pin inserted through holes at each end of a plastic assembly. No bearings. That type is very sluggish, and hard to roll. The trackball that came with the Arcade 1up machines is NOT a bearing type trackball. I couldn't get that stock trackball out of my 1up machines fast enough, because they just won't move freely, like a bearing type trackball does. As soon as I saw Glen's Retro Show vid about this new trackball, I placed my order. It's very easy to install. The only issue I've noticed, and this happens with ALL bearing type trackballs, even commercial arcade trackballs, is there's sometimes an occasional binding that occurs, when you roll the ball. Sometimes two bearings will touch each other, and they'll bind, or stop rolling. It's a rare occurrence, but is known to happen in bearing type trackballs. Just something we have to live with. There's nothing wrong with the trackball. Some people have reported a grinding sound, when rolling the ball. That's just the bearings rolling around the bushing, dropping down to the bottom of the space they're in, as they roll around. It's the same sound you hear in a skateboard, or roller blade / skate wheel. It's perfectly normal. There is one issue with the Arcade 1up machines, mainly with Centipede, and Millipede. Arcade 1up ramped up the sensitivity for the analog controls in the hidden MAME menu, to compensate for the garbage trackball that came with the cabinet. As a result, the increased sensitivity provided by the GRS trackball is now amplified, many fold. Therefore, trying to control Centipede, like in the arcade, results in some awkward control behavior. However, if you use slow inputs on the trackball, the gameplay will be fine. The other trackball games in the Arcade 1up machines seem to work very nicely with this trackball. Once your warranty expires, I recommend you solder in a USB header, and keyboard, so you can access the hidden MAME menu, and reset the analog controls in Centipede, and Millipede, to allow more realistic trackball behavior. I'm really enjoying my GRS trackball, and have also set my LED dipswitches for a magenta colour, which looks very nice. You can set it to whatever colour you like. I did notice the trackball now comes with it's own built in daughter board, for allowing the spinner in the 12 in 1 to work along side the trackball, without having the external daughter board in place. I'll save that for a MAME machine, later on. You do have to open up the trackball to plug in the spinner, if you have the 12 in 1. If you already have the daughter board for the 12 in 1, and just can't be bothered with opening up the trackball, the daughter board will still work without any conflicts. The rolling action of this bearing type trackball feels so much better than the stock trackball.
