So I have one of these:
I would like to spice it up with a billiards/pool ball. What should I put in it? Any suggestions?

What, are you saying that isn't a nice clean cue ball in it already?

vivalarevolución wants to "pimp it".

I should clarify, that isn't mine in the photo. I stole it from Google. But mine has the stock trackball in it, yes.

Yes, exactly. Maybe a clear cue ball with a fake fish in it is my dream.

A granite pool ball, for the heft.

But where is the imbedded fish?

I worked in the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California for a time and had to move lots of large granite rocks. Never again.

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?
