I have the Oscar 3 model with USB interface..

I have the black round steel knob with "Mame" on it

Or heck, have someone handle orders and putting them together for him.

Sure he wouldn't make as much money, but it would make a lot of people happy.

I personally think the loose of prehacked mice is a lot worse then the spinners. There are other solutions, but a good $13 hacked mouse is very useful.

That's the lightest of the models. I'm actually looking for something with a little more mass behind it. Thanks for the backdoor link, though.

SlikStik may be the way I need to go. It does seem to be a very good spinner, but I did have my heart set on the Vortex spinner that closely resembled the Tempest spinner.

He's a good guy, I'm sad I never got to meet him at a super auction.

Delta88, have you seen him recently?
