[ukvac] tech: trackballs
Hi,
Ok. I have 3 used trackballs, and 1 new one. They have all been stored in
the garage. The 3 old ones i have stripped cleaned, bearings are all ok,
etc.
Now.: ALL 4 have the same result in the game. Character moves fine in 1
direction on each axis, ie, left and up, but the rollers do not turn
properly in the opposite direction.
ie. They work when you are pushing against the roller, but not when you are
moving the ball away from the roller.
IS there a common solution for this, is it because they have been stored
outside in the garage, although i have stripped them.
any suggestions?
Thanks
Kev.
ps. Hope the above makes sense... i havent even started on the drink yet.
