Interesting. I wonder what price it is thru Divemaster?  It's not listed on his site yet.

It's the Slikstik Tornado spinner with a new knob. They've had them for a long time (minus the knob). Interesting to see it being further developed.

I thought the form factor looked familiar but I forgot it was SlikStik's.  Good catch Saint.

Made my own with a mouse hack for damn near nothing.

The most difficult part about making a spinner is making a good looking knob that spins the way you want it.

My Slikstik Tornado spinner looks and feels great.

(The only reason I don't use it is because it only allows for three buttons)  ::)

Just like any standard mouse device.....

A part of the toilet fell off at work and sitting on the ground (the stainless steel cover over some valve)...  I was about to steal it because it would make the best spinner knob I've seen...  Then I thought about the excuse I would have had to make to my wife about why I lost my job...

The most expensive part of my setup is the knob itself. ;D

It's probably in case he invites some coworkers over, and then when they are playing the game, they are all like "Hey this looks like part of the toilet..."  :laugh2:

I am get these spinners but my cost is like $10.00 below what happ is selling them for.  You would be better off getting the ultimarc spinner i sell its half the cost & a better spinner.  Its what I use
