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?

About an inch by 3/4 inch or so I'd estimate.  VERY small and comes with a post to mount it anywhere.

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.

Well that means its plug and play... as is ours: http://www.ultimarc.com/SpinTrak.htm

For interest: The Happ spinner is a direct copy of the Slikstik Tornado. Funny thing is, Industrias Lorenzo are at it as well, they also have their own version of this spinner.

In the interest of accuracy:  HAPP and SlikStik had/have a manufacturing agreement in place.  They are not being "ripped off", as doing such a thing would certainly paint them as sleazeballs in the eyes of those considering doing business with them.  Also, HAPP and IL have a tight business relationship.  It would not surprise me in the slightest if IL is the one manufacturing them for HAPP.

   Randy and Andy must also have such an agreement.
