Next question;

Who has an Arkanoid control with the original knob still on it?


What is the diameter?


Thanks,
RandyT

I'll see if I can't dig it out later tonight.

Was an answer for this established ??

I'm wondering how the knob diameter compares with the Big Blue or TokenTop knobs on Randy's TurboTwist 2 spinner.

Ended up answering it in another thread:

Oops, sorry, forgot about that.  Been really busy lately, blah blah blah.  I don't have any calipers handy, but my super-scientific eyeball and tape measure says it's one and 9/16 inches; or 40mm.

Wouldn't that be DOH at 2X and Arkanoid at 1X?

D'oh!  ;D

This is not always a given across the axes.  With some "off the shelf" mouse controller chips, the Z is decoded at 2x, while X and Y are at 4x.

Right.  I forget the Z axis when I find it convenient. ;)
