Title: Hackable? Even if not...

..these little hand-held wheels are great for coctail cabinets and stuff where you really WANT a wheel but dont have the space for one.

They also have a $14.99 one that claims "force feedback", but I've owned that one...it requires a battery, and all it does is rumble....not actually provide "force feedback"......

Nope.  

These are more like a potentiometer on a spring.  They stop at the sides and return to center (at least mine does.)

Awesome! If it's got a 2600 plug, that means it'll work with my C-64 AND my Vic-20!
