Turn your spinner into a volume knob- freeware!

Just found this:

You can make the scroll wheel of your mouse control your PC's volume setting with this app.  If you've got a spinner connected to the Z-axis on an Opti-Wiz, you're golden.  Should also work with any cheap mouse's scrollwheel hacked to a knob.  Can be set so that it only controls the volume when a certain key is pressed (or a lot of other conditions, if you like), so your spinner will still be a spinner the rest of the time.  You can also set it to work "when no button or key is pressed", so you can make a fulltime volume knob if you want. 

Freeware; can't beat the price, either.  8)

Another option (works with X, Y, or Z axis, plus any key combinations):

Awesome! I might have to try that mouse scroll wheel hack. I just happen to have one that my kids completely wore out the left click button on. Thanks for the info guys.

Cool, Andy, I hadn't seen that.  Can yours be mad to work without a hotkey, for a fulltime volume knob?  No good on an arcade cab, but on a dedicated juke...

This feature was in Arcade Music Box (X or Y axis) nearly since beginning, but only without a shift button I remember.

I implicated this in MultiJuke (All 3 axis) as well, where you can use a "Volume Spin" (as I called it) button as well or not. ETC MultiJuke would greatfull use a spinner to its fullest in MultiJuke both Arcade and Jukebox modes....

Otherwice it a great addications for those using a spinner for a any type of cabinet, if you have a spinner or trackball.
