Mounting Spinner vertically?

Pages: << < (2/3) > >>

ChadTower:


Eh... a spinner is a rock solid controller.  Once it's on and working well you'll rarely have to go in and tweak it.

Xiaou2:

 Ive posted the Idea in the past,  for people who are trying to cram the
spinners too far up on the control panel to be comfortable.

 A spinner can easily be mounted vertically,  and will not have any
troubles,  unless it is a very poorly built spinner.

 As for vertical comfort,  Its hard to say.

 Maybe driving games are near vertical mounted..  yet,  your grip is
a bit different.

 Mock it up on some heavy duty cardboard layers..  or a small scrap wood test.


ChadTower:


Wouldn't the signal-movement ratio of a spinner makes driving games really really sensitive?

Xiaou2:

 Not sure what you mean.

 You can dial down sensitivity on many mice.   Also settings in windows too.

 And in game, you can also dial it down.

 One usually does not take their hands off the wheel when
driving either.  (unless you are playing something like
supersprint where you whail it and let her rip  :)  )


ChadTower:


Look at the difference in how "far" you would need to spin a large wheel vs how far you'd have to spin a small wheel to get the same rotation.  Half of that is in the person's perception, sure, but it is what it is... a person is going to have trouble adjusting, at least a first, to moving a spinner only a fraction of an inch where they would move a large wheel 3".
