| Is Happy OPTICAL Rotary good for spinner games? |
| (1/1) |
| RayB:
I didn't know this existed until today (though I saw by searching the board that it's been discussed a little): http://www.happcontrols.com/joysticks/rotary_optical_joy.htm (the bottom one, optical) So I was wondering if that optical rotary joystick is adequate for spinner games (Arkanoid, Tempest)? Does the stick spin freely enough? |
| SirPoonga:
It's an ok substitute if you don't have room on a panel for a spinner, however it isn't the same. It doesn't free float as much, it isn;t a knob, etc... |
| Magnet_Eye:
yeah you can use it. some games are better than others. You need to adjust sensitivity accordingly. I use it for tron, arkanoid, kick, and tempest. tempest really needs an actual spinner though! |

Awwwwww. This is the third time this has happened in two weeks. Just when i've sorted my budget and dimensions, something else pops up and forces me to buy it. I should have got myself a cheaper hobby, like a Ferrari or something. :'( |
