RetroArcade.us Track Ball 2 in Arcade Trackball - Works with 60-in-1

In this review of the RetroArcade.us Track Ball 2 in revision 2, the bottom line is simple: this is a purpose-built, plug-and-play trackball for owners of the 60-IN-1 Jamma iCade multigame PCB who want a smooth, illuminated control for trackball-enabled titles. It installs by plugging into the dedicated Jamma port and is automatically recognized, so the biggest reason to buy is compatibility and ease of use with those 60-in-1 boards. The review evaluates how it feels, what it includes, and any tradeoffs to consider.

Key Features

• Designed for 60-IN-1 Jamma boards: The connector and configuration are tailored so the trackball is plug-and-play with compatible Jamma multigame PCBs.
• 2 in track ball size: The 2 in diameter ball provides an arcade-appropriate feel and responsive movement for classic trackball games.
• LED lighting: The illuminated ball improves visibility and adds a classic arcade aesthetic during play sessions.
• Arcade quality construction: Built to a sturdier spec than desktop peripherals, it offers smooth operation suited to repetitive arcade use.
• Harness included: The unit ships with the connector harness for direct attachment to the Jamma port so setup is straightforward.
• Manufacturer warranty: The included warranty gives buyers reassurance against early defects or failures.

Who It's For

The RetroArcade.us 2 in trackball is aimed at hobbyists and arcade cabinet owners who run the 60-IN-1 Jamma iCade multigame board and need a reliable, authentic-feeling trackball for games that rely on analog ball input. It is especially useful for restorations or custom builds where matching the original arcade control layout matters.

It is not a general-purpose PC trackball or a universal arcade input: users with other Jamma variants such as 276-IN-1 or custom wiring setups should look elsewhere or be prepared to rewire the connector. Mounting hardware is not included, so cabinets lacking compatible mounts will need separate parts.
