I was wondering if there is any way to get ahold of a trackball like the one in the uConsole?

Yes, from the photos is black so probably they used EVQWJN007, which is compatible with the Devterm too, I changed the stock one from the Devterm to the EVQWJN007.

I got mine from [Aliexpress](https://a.aliexpress.com/_EJaJfqZ)

Interesting, is this one much better than the DevTerm one?

Feels better, the DevTerm one is a plastic ball and a bit loose. While that one has a rubberized feel and its tighter, the ball isn’t as free in the socket as the original one.

there is code to activate the directional pad to move the mouse but you have to disable it to play games…

The ball is fun. Reminds me of some of the weird 90s laptop pointing devices. you get used to it quick.
