(Rats! I just had to re-type this whole post again since it timed out - I hope I get everything)
When you purchase the TT2 it comes with it's own interface board (tiny) and it's own standard USB cable. You simply plug one end into the interface and the other into your USB port on the PC. Voila! Instant recognition without installing any drivers. The TT2 fits right into a standard button hole.
As far as the wheel goes, I'm not too sure since I don't have one yet. However, I will say that you can easily remove the knob from the TT2 by unscrewing a small screw on the side by using a ultra mini flathead screwdriver. Once removed, I'm assuming that the wheel attaches the same way. However, to know for sure, you may want to contact Randy T (the owner) and he can tell you for sure. He's very good about returning e-mails and is a very personable guy.
Once you find out for sure, I'd be curious to know how it mounts. Also, it appears in the picture as if it comes with the whole shaft, but I doubt it. Can you let us know about that too?
Randy T... care to chime in?
Good luck!
