Spinner Suggestions

Zeppo:

I have been thinking about buying the Blackhawk push/pull lately and was wondering about the performance as well.

I have also been thining about building my own pupsh/pull spinner, but after reading the suggestion above about hooking the up/down to a pedal, I may go that route.

Then I also read about making a spinner out of an optical mouse as opposed to the normal ballmouse method I see that is so popular.

How would the performance of that be on slower games like Arkanoid?
Anyone know?

Thanks!

 Zeppo,

  I personally would stay away from optical as they are a bit 'flighty'...
as well as harder to hack..

 Instead,  grab a Laser mouse.  These have AWESOMELY high resolution.

 The Logitech laser mouse I have can read a surface even
when raised  4mm  from it!  :D    I do not believe opticals are
so good about that..  and they dont have anywhere near the
resolution of lasers.  Not as accurate tracking either...

 The laser is amazing.  It can track just as good on my desk as
my pant leg!

 I believe the cost are comming down for them..  and you
probably could get a used one off ebay for cheap when
people upgrade to the latest and greatest.

It's a fantastic spinner. Dealing with Slickstick can be a pita sometimes though.

I got an email today that they are out of the Spinner I ordered (color-wise), but have the 0-ring version. I said to go ahead and ship them. They were also out of the Joystick shafts I ordered (Blue bat handle), but have the Ball-top in stock....so I said to send them too :)
