Is it possible to connect an arcade wheel to one of the axis/rollers on a mouse, if so would it be very accurate?
-
Im sure you can use a steering wheel just as you would use a spinner, may need to mod it though for the encoder wheel to work right.

Ive never really bothered with spinners, so I have know idea about them, is a spinner made from a mouse?

Spinners, 360 degree (not 270 degree) steering wheels, and trackballs all work like a mouse. There are three popular ways to hook them up-
1. The Opti-Pac (http://www.ultimarc.com/optipac1.html)
2. An Oscar mouse hack (http://www.oscarcontrols.com/)
3. a do-it-yourself mouse hack, which I don't have a ready link for.
