I was looking on the SUZO-Happ site....came across this...

This Slikstick Tornado spinner....is it just plug and play....the photo, i cant tell if its a USB or not....
I'm kinda interested....Thinking of maybe trying to incorporate a spinner with my x-arcade tankstick...It looks small enough to fit in my tankstick....
Right now Im just brainstorming....wanted to see what options I have....

I recommend the Turbo Twist 2 over the SlikSuck spinner....

No...most spinners require an additional board that translates the optical signals to USB/PS2 signals.  That said,  the TT2 includes said board with the product.

That board....Frizzle....about how big is it?

Dont wont the board to interfere with the wiring of the other buttons....

I have a X-arcade Tankstick....Looking at the photo... I guess I would have to drill a hole big enough for a pushbutton... slide the spinner in....mount that board under the spinner and run the usb cable to back of PC.... correct?
