Now that the fallout from my divorce has finally settled and I have some extra money coming in from my tax return I am planning on getting back to my cabinet project. I already have my sticks, buttons, u-trak, and an mini-pac opti to connect the entire thing to. What I am trying to decide on now, is which which spinner to get. From what I have read I should be able to use a turbo twist two with my mini-pac opt. Is this correct?

Also I am looking for any recommendations as far as the spinners go. I am mainly trying to decide between a Turbo Twist and a Spin Trak. Are there any other models/manufacturers I should be aware of?

Those are both great spinners, the only physical difference is the shaft diameter: .25" for the Turbo twist and 6mm for the Spin track, so it's important to think about  what knob you want and make sure it will fit, the other thing to consider is that the Turbo twist has a Steering wheel option which can be nice for driving games

the turboTwist will work on the Mini Pac but it comes with a USB interface anyway, so unless you need to save a USB port or your running XP64 I'd just use that
