You need to do a little more research (read). There are several types of spinners and they are not all created equal.
fjl:
You seem to know a lot, Leapinlew, which spinner would you recommend? The one the above guy posted costs an arm and a leg. And not to be superficial, but the knob is ugly looking. Hopefully it can be changed. Not sure what the purpose of push/pull on the spinner is for though.

I have the Ulimarc 2.25 inch trackball and it works really good. You have to have the Ipac interface with it, but that is a peace of cake.

I highly, highly recommend getting one. I would never build a cab without one. I think someone mentioned earlier, but I'll say it again - trackball games are on some of the most fun multi-player games like Golden Tee, Shuuz, Krazy Bowl, and so on.

Gotta get one.
Zeppo:
The push/pull spinner is for Discs of Tron.

If you get a Turbo Twist 2, they are the same size as a standard button.

read all about it.

I made my own spinner from a mouse hack:

I used the lid from a bottle of Nestle Quick Chocolate Milk for the knob.

Good Luck.

Don't you mean the opti-pac? And would it be more beneficial to get the USB trackball instead? This way I can completely cut out the whole opti-pac part?
