Hello, i purchased an x-arcade dual stick and a computer loaded with hyperspin. I love the game arkanoid. i am purchasing a spinner but have absolutely no cluse on how to install it in the stick by replacing one of the buttons. i have searched high and low on the web and no one takes it step by step (dont forget, i am clueless) Does anyone know how or where or who i can speak with by getting an instructional video or directions on what to do?

I have an X-Arcade Tankstick (dual sticks + trackball). I replaced the 2 Players button with a SpinTrack spinner from
www.ultimarc.com
They come with their own USB controller so all you have to do is to get a USB cable from the X-Arcade to your PC.

I second the Ultimarc spinner. Fits in a button hole and connects via USB. Couldn’t be easier.

Spinner interfaces usually have a usb output that pretty much gives a typical mouse output, and optionally with 2/3 mouse buttons. So you would have to connect that usb to the computer and, separatedly, the rest of the controls of the stick.
