A member posted in our Guide section that we missed it. I've never personally seen one, and I can't find any information online. Does anyone here own one?

I have an unroller controller for the nes, it looks like a track-ball, but it works just like a regular controller

I've got an NES controller with the Quickshot brand on it. In pictures it may appear to be a trackball, as the upper half of the controller has a plastic ball sticking out of it. The thing is actually just a weird controller, though. The "ball" is in fact a hemisphere that doesn't roll or rotate. You just shove the hemisphere up, down, left, or right. It requires some effort and actually turns videogaming into something of a workout for one of your arms.

This is the Unroller Controller.

Never heard of a NES trackball untiil this day. If one exist and it's not made by Quickshot, that can be a great find.

Good find, but the little "FF" next to "Hori Track" indicates that it's for Famicom, not NES, technically speaking.

Oh shit!, i saw a few months ago a trackball like the one in the picture of the spanish site and also i saw other but i don�t remember very well the description. I had the oportunity to buy it, but i thought that is a pirate hard.
I saw it in Mercado Libre (Ebay Argentina)
