Arcadeforge Trackball Strike Encoder

The Trackball Strike Encoder from Arcadeforge allows us to connect a Trackball to a Raspberry Pi, Linux or PC. When connecting the trackball to the encoder, it functions as a USB mouse device. The Trackball Strike Encoder will let us connect a total of 2 x Trackballs.

We can completely change the functionality of this board turning it into an Encoder USB Dual Strike Arcadeforge. We would only need to change the firmware of the board. The firmware can be updated or be changed via the USB cable, downloading the firmware file we want.
