Get one of these: 2-1/4" Trackball with USB and PS/2 Interface, from
Suzo-Happ ( http://na.suzohapp.com/trackballs/565600xx.htm ) and a
couple of pushbuttons ( http://na.suzohapp.com/pushbuttons/539200xx.htm
) and build a case for the parts. These trackballs and pushbuttons are
made for arcade game consoles and are super-rugged. I used them in
exhibits at the Field Museum in Chicago and used one at work for 10+
years without any problems. The track balls are not cheap ($183), but
are rock-solid.
If I was going to build myself a Centipede cabinet, that would be my first
choice. :)

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end.

Is that where those awesome trackballs are born? :)
?No, I believe Logitech is based in Washington State.
