Oscar Controls Restructuring?

Lilwolf:
Its the gears in the arkanoid spinner make small motions for very large motions.  IE, you might only need 1/2 a turn to get a full motion left / right.. plus have very accurate inbetween.  If you did this with a non-geared spinner you would loose a lot of detail since the spokes in the encoder wheel can only detect so much.

next... The vortex spinners are weighted where an arkanoid isn't.  So quick motion left/right is VERY easy to do.  but if you let go of the spinner it will stop right there right then. 

IE, arkanoids are ment to be used with a single rotation or less.
and tempests are made to be spun and let go.

My two cents...

When Oscar's site closed, I went with the Tornado spinner from SlikStick (my apologies, spelling may be wrong?)...has worked fine for me so far!

PaulG:
He had 10 vortex spinners on Ebay that ended August 7th (7 sold).

I'm sure he also had a couple words to say in the thread that mentioned this.
