Anyone tried these spinners / 360 wheel adapter?

[JayTea]

This looks like a fixall for a spinner and a 360 wheel, but I'm wondering how long the thing will last with the abuse it will take playing "Off Road".  Has anyone tried these with the wheel attatchment?  If not, maybe I'll buy it and do a mini-review of it.

Looks like a truckers wheel--I would much rather have two devices and some clever scheme to interchange them then that ugly thing.  But if you rarely play driving games, i guess it could work for you.

I saw another thread about these spinners, anyone have any feedback on how they feel?  The price is right that's for sure.  I couldn't get any of the links to work on this webpage, but I wanna I say I've seen them on ebay for around 20.

I think I'm gonna buy one and be a guinea pig.  Of course, I won't be able to tell what the long term effects of extended use will be for a while, but I could tell you how they feel when using the spinner and driving wheel and wheter it feels authentic or if it feels like it will break in 15 minutes.

     I've seen Oscars' posts before regarding hooking a steering wheel to a spinner, and he thought it to be innefective due to the amount of force placed on the pot shaft (or something of that nature, if I'm not mistaken).  I'm wondering if this is simply a cheaply made spinner with a wheel attachment with no forethought on how long it will last under duress.

I think i've seen this guy on ebay!  He sells spinners on ebay. In fact, I've just searched and found an auction of his http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2779078540&category=170
I think it's just a plain spinner (maybe home made, mouse hack) and the wheel is a replaceable "knob".  That thing looks cheaply made and doesn't look sturdy at all for racing games.

thats my 2 cents anyway.

I've come to find out that looks can be deceiving on the internet.  I can't discredit what I haven't played with,  but I agree that  it does look "plastic" to me.

I agree, this doesn't look like it would hold up under a lot of wheel use. A good idea in theory, but not in implementation.

If the spinner looks like a real robust/sturdy spinner then a wheel instead of a knob might work.   However, if you tried to replace one of my knobs from my TwistyGrip Spinner mouse hack, then the amount of force used on that steering wheel would surely ruin my hacked spinners.
