thoughts and quick tests
its a very sturdy and heavy duty spinner, good weight
and spins very freely.
looks good with the atari symbol on it. and the ridges
on the side make for a good grip
its very silent.
test
===================
ran a quick test on MAME for windows.
the spinner is recognized as a mouse input.
fired up tempest, adjust the settings and sensitivity
to the lowest, and was able to play just fine.
further tweaks for other games will be needed.
will be testing it out on the xbox one with tempest also.
recommendation:
==================
price / value is definitely worth it, and the fact you don't
have to drill into a panel makes it superior just for that.
no tools are needed to install, and no maintenace afterwards.
good value, and sturdy build make it worth $49.99
recommended 5/5 stars
