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.
