I like the fact that you can by a steering wheel to fix onto the spinner. Cool idea.

If someone has tried one of these it would be nice to know what they are like.

I have one... they work decently enough.  It has next to no spin time however.  Most games are playable with it and it works decently as a make-shift wheel for driving games.

I put it on my bartop, but if you are REALLY into any spinner games, you're better off getting a "real" spinner from SlikStik or Oscar.  If you only play spinner games on rare occasions, it'll probably do.... if you plan on using a spinner a lot, I'd opt for something else.

I have tried one of these in the past. They are a decent spinner for the $. They do not have good spin time for a frenzied Tempest game. They are adequate though for using as a spinner or a 270 wheel.

Will an optical wheel like that work for 270 games? I don't really need a spinner, but a removeable wheel would be nice.

Championship Sprint was very playable with the one I had.

If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

I got one a long time ago and have yet to hook it up.

The only thing I'd like to add is the size of the steering wheel.  Grab a ruler and look at what 7.5" is.  It's smaller than the palm of your hand.  Looks bigger on the pic they have.

GD! You've got a big hand.  You've must have a friggin' bear claw for a palm.

Is the steering wheel capable of fitting on any spinner?

Wouldnt it be cool if you could have 3 spinners on a cab and hook up with a streering wheel, has any heard of this being done, or has anyone got any ideas.

Thanks
