I dont have a spinner on my CP and I cant say im all that involved in the inner workings of them. :P
Well with the risk of being sniped by one of you guys, what would I need in order to use this spinner I found on fleabay?

Hard to tell with just the one picture. For sure you'd need optipac, or do a mouse hack, or an oscar optical board and an oscar mouse board.
A plastic safe lubrication, maybe. (I think the gears are plastic.)
A small hex or torx (star) wrench, maybe. And/or a roll pin remover, maybe.
Dude says all the parts are there, but makes me wonder why he didn't put one together and sell it as a working spinner for more $$$? [shrug]

Im going for it, hoping to do a mousehack to hook it up, wish me luck! ;D

This spinner looks like a arkanoid type spinner, it has gears so it doesn't spin freely like a tempest spinner. Not sure if this is something you want...

Speaking of Arkaniod, how are you guys that play it with a regular spinner playing it well? I suck at it with my regular spinner, maybe it's my analog settings. I mean, I suck so bad that I don't even want to play it.

I got a torando spinner....
and at first... its not really playable....
after a lot of tweaking.... its playable now....
but still.... its still not perfect yet....
feels different from the real thing....
