I have one myself, since I belived it would be a nice touch to my build, with both a plunger and tilt sensors all in one.
To be honest, I haven't used it that much yet, so if others says it is crap, it might be so.

I also have a Uhid-G board, but that I never got to work properly. But maybe that's just me. I know other people are happy with it.
But since I failed I ordered the Nanotech stuff instead. Mostly because of the plunger. But again, my build is far from finished so I really haven't got that much experience yet.

@Dazz. WIth a normal tilt bob, though, you don't get any indication of the direction of tilt, which has an effect on the ball in FP and VP (like tilt forward, left right).

Or do you not bother with differentiation?

Just wondering mainly. I haven't really dug into getting on that working on my cab yet.
Spacejack:
When using a normal tilt bob for nudging, do you set it tighter than it would be for tilting? I mean if you have to hit it hard enough that it would void your play in a real machine, that doesn't seem too awesome.

I could totally see some kind of double-tethered weight being usable for analog nudge control though.

The cabs with tilt bobs use 2 or more with electrical tape around the ring part to only expose one area for directional nudges.  Another common and simpler design is to use mercury switches.

I thought that most who have tried this ended up scrapping it.

Is that right? I was thinking about that for my hypothetical and likely not real any time soon pinball table.
