I appreciate that, MGB. I'm fully read up on the state of spinners in 2006
Seriously, the first thread listed in the wiki is one I spent a lot of time with when I first got the spinner and I enjoyed reviewing it.
If anyone has info on how to reduce the effective tooth count, change polling rate, etc. let me know, otherwise I'll see if I can have both 1 axis of the trackball and the spinner on the x axis of the optiwiz. the polling rate change program in the first link under the wiki doesn't work, I guess I can mess with the russian warez version further but it didn't work right off. could be user error. would love to know if that's worth looking into in the first place.
