Have you tried the fps camera with Irrlicht? I think it does what you need. Don't know for sure tho becouse I've never heard of arcball.

Irrlicht has got it, it's called maya cam.

he means a camera that orbits like a trackball.

search for maya cam examples in the forums. You'll find it quick, and it's vey easy to implement.
