Unless they are smaller than the knobs diameter then I have all the dimensions I need. --- End quote --- You need to do a little more research (read). There are several types of spinners and they are not all created equal. |

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. |

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. http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=60502.0 read all about it. I made my own spinner from a mouse hack: http://www.doughansen.net/arcade/spinner.htm I used the lid from a bottle of Nestle Quick Chocolate Milk for the knob. Good Luck. |
