A Mouse Spinner Hack just about anyone can make.

It had a clicky feel with it out of adjustment. Once I adjusted it properly, the click went away and spun smoothly, but you can definitely hear the gears. ...

Good info, and it makes sense. A lot of the games in the arcade (Disney Quest orlando) were in piss poor repair. I'm definitely going to follow up on the faux gearing feel mod after I get a few other things out of the way.
Nephasth:
Could you cut a slot (maybe even just drill a hole) in the bracket next to the washers, use bigger washers that would get close to the slot, and mount the optical mouse pcb easily to the back side of the bracket? Would make for a nice compact package.

I like using HDD Motors - they just spin like the dickens.
You can sometimes fit the encoding wheel at the bottom of the HDD screw hole, and with some glue it stays on there.
Make sure you remove the plastics and reduce the height of that spinner!!
DaOld Man:
Wonder how the optical mouse would do "looking at" the HDD drum?
