I just bought one of these from Gozur. He didn't make it, but this is the guy (or at least a very similar type) that he got it from.

It seems to work pretty well. My cab is not finished, so I have no comment on mounting it yet, although it seems fairly straightforward.  I hooked it up to a few PC's in my house already and it works pretty damn well.  It is recognized in XP as a mouse automatically and I've used it with Mame, Mame32, and through MameWah with no trouble.  Each game can use a bit of tweaking as far as sensitivity goes, but I'm guessing that is the same for all spinners??

Anyway, I have never used an Oscar or Slikstik spinner, so I can't give you comparisons that way, but I will say I'm pretty excited about it.  It works, and it definitely is more realistic than the arrow keys I was using, heh :)   Hope that helps.
first off your and idiot

Man I love the internet, haha.

I think I'd go the extra money for an Oscar spinner, rather than take the chance on a "what's in this box" sale.

ALL of Oscar's spinners are top-notch.
