-Many have the same cable as keyboards ( see elsware on this page ).  The ones with balls also have 2 optical rotery encoders.  When you get a hundred or more balls there must be something clever to do with them.

	I get quite a few Keyboard Cables and Plugs, but until recently did not know what to do with them. Then I had a flash – I build a lot of things, but do not really want to deal with a power supply. Why not have one central power supply and plug in each project. I took 3 dual keyboard ( and mouse ) plugs and wired them in series. The supply ( again from a computer ) provides +5 volts and + and – 12 volts. This is good power for most of what I do. The cables are soldered into the project and plug in when I need power. The only limit is that I would keep the power to a few hundred ma.		I get quite a few Keyboard Cables and Plugs, but until recently did not know what to do with them.
