I'd like to avoid building my own bearings at all costs.

177 used "mouseball" casters last year.... i think they are available through small parts. They are MUCH lighter and smaller.... They act pretty mcuh like a mouseball, there is a small metal ball in the middle of an aluminum casing - the small ones probably weigh a quarter of a pound.

Existing casters won't work for my application.
