Personally I could care less about DOT but I think this spinner would work great for Forgotten Worlds too...

Aceldamor:

Well, If you use your spinner as a mock steering wheel you could use the push of the spinner as a Nitro for Ivan Stewart's   ;D

MinerAl:

I'm thinking that this spinner could be an alternative control for the original Tron as well.

You could map the "down" leaf switch to fire.  So instead of a trigger joystick and a spinner, you'd have a trigger spinner and a joystick.  It would be awkward, and not at all faithful to the real layout, but it might work.

It could also be useful for "releasing" in Arkanoid and the like.

Wienerdog:

I don't have this spinner yet, but that doesn't keep me from commenting.

The up an down actions trigger a leaf button.  Triggering a button that isn't mapped to anything will have NO impact on games that require a normal spinner.  

Very few people are buying this spinner just for DOT.  Out of curiosity, what games do you need a long free spin for?  I'm not saying the DOT spinner doesn't have a good free spin, I just can't think of any game that you need to give the spinner a twirl and have it spin a long time.
