I have it, works great. You just set a jumper on the interface to be X or Y axis, and plug it in. Windows sees it as a mouse and the up and down are seen as left or right click. The knob is also very tron like. I think someone (maybe even Randy) said it's just a touch smaller or something. I haven't seen a real tron knob in probably 20 years, but it feels right to me. Mounting it is pretty straight forward, trace it out using the supplied template and and cut away. There is a top mounting ring, so if you want it flush, you'll need to use a router to cut away some material on the CP. |

Bulletproof and works perfectly for DoT. And Apache's knobs are the best around, IMO. Eric. |

And IMHO, a solid stainless steel knob more closely modeled in design after the original DOT control trumps anodized aluminum, but that's a subjective issue. |
