Arkanoid and Arkanoid 2 use the same geared spinner.

Old thread, but better to add my questions here than start a new one....

Have been using the TT2 with a customised knob just a bit smaller than the token top available from GGG. I have been trying different sensitivity levels but either way I am not as good as I used to be on this game, and I expect this is not me getting older and slower!!

If I catch the ball and then start the vaus from the left and turn my knob slowly, i go about half a turn until I hit the right hand side. This is using sensitivity of about 35%. Interested to know if this is comparable to anyone who has an arkanoid cab or believes there settings are correct.

Also, I assume the mouse sensitivity in windows control panel has no affect?

Slube mentioned below Dial Digital Speed and Dial Sensitivity. I have been changing only Sensitivity, is this correct?

Finally, I have on a couple of occasions spun the knob very quickly (to save a ball) and found my vaus going briefly in the oposite direction. Is this because the settings are wrong or a known problem with the TT2? BTW, I missed the ball on each occasion!  ???

Does anyone know what the resolution of the SlikStik spinners are?

I didnt know about this issue either, and was completely unsatisfied with playing many spinner games with my Slikstik, Id like to know how far off I am from correctly emulating the real thing.

I'm guessing 48 CPR, going from old posts saying "between 40-50 CPR", old low res pics online, and standard numbers.
