Title: Oscar Model 3 spinner
Post by: deadmoney5 on September 12, 2004, 03:23:04 pm: I just ordered the model 3 with USB mouse interface...

Here is what I understand it takes to install..

connect wires from spinner optics to the USB interface
plug into USB port on computer

Is it really THAT easy to install?

Gotta drill a hole in your CP, stick the shaft through, and screw the knob onto the shaft.

Yeah, actually it is that easy.

I'm leaning toward Slikstik, but would like a second opinion from someone who has the Model 3.

I can't offer any opinions on the Slikstik (or the Model 3) since I don't have one, but I can highly recommend the Oscar Vortex. I have a Vortex, and absolutely love it. The weight and action on it is absolutely perfect.
