My control panel is just all black and I think it would look good if I put one of my nickel tokens on the knob.

I think the first batch will be stainless, but I will be looking at other materials and finishes.  Some nice gunblue or black-oxide coated steel could be cool with the nickel tokens (I have some of those kind as well.)

                 Are the tops of these the same size as a US Quarter.... I was thinking maybe glue one of those in....

I got given one in change the other day here in the UK >:( Grrrr!.  They're almost identical in size to a UK 10 pence piece. Slightly thinner, but the diameter is the same.  For someone in the UK having a quarter in the top of the spinner is quite a cool idea. Although I'd guess that most Americans are asking why anybody would want to do that. LOL  ;D

Not a bad idea.  But a U.S. Quarter is smaller by about .040".  Which means it will fit, but will have a small gap around it (and you'll need to center it in the recess.)

Fair enough.... It'd still look good.... Especially if I glue it in place with some coloured resin, that would then fill the gap round the edge as well :)... Maybe a nice blue to match my control panel.

I'll be up for one of these :)

Now to persuade my other half to let me have the spinner to go with it LOL

Best Regards,

RandyT...when I order one of these I'd like to also get an extra OptiWiz with the encoder optics and a spare encoder wheel to mount to the end of a steering wheel shaft I bought on Ebay that came missing some parts.  I got some payment back from the seller and was planning on buying the parts from Oscar.  Think the higher resolution would benefit...   Do you plan to sell encoder wheels separate and the OptiWiz with the encoder optics?

Looks ... er... groovy to me :)

Randy, if you go with stainless steel do you think it will affect the way the spinner feels?  In other words will there be too much mass to it with both a shaft weight and a steel knob?  I would think there would be an optimal mass that gives the spinner a nice feel but still allows for a quick change in direction.
