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.
