Has anyone ever tried using an old ball from a computer mouse in a pinball machine?
Quoted from Luckydogg420:Has anyone ever tried using an old ball from a computer mouse in a pinball machine?
Lol do it. Would be funny to watch.
It wouldn’t have the weight to trigger targets. Also too small for habitrails. In short it sounds terrible. But I would watch a video of it.
haha, a normal-sized superball of correct composition might be closer in size and dense enough to have sufficient weight to trigger mechs. OTOH, they would also probably self-destruct along the mold seam in short order. Still could be funny to try for quick gits and shiggles, especially with glass off....
We just found one around the house a week or two back and I've no idea where it bounced to...
The mouse balls from some of them in the 90’s were solid steel balls with a rubber coating and I bet the size would be close on a lot of them. I don’t have any around, but though it could be a cool experiment.
Hasn't this sorta thing already been sorta tried in Viper's Night Drivin game with mixed results?
