Hey Randy, looking to into getting one of your fine looking spinners. But I got a few questions first.
1. Am I correct in understanding that it allows a trackball to be hooked up?
2. Does it require any drivers? As I am looking to use it on a Linux mame cab.


Thanks!

I'm not Randy, but..

1)  Yes, the Opti-Wiz optical interface that comes with the spinner has inputs for three total axes; one for the spinner and two for a trackball (or other optical devices).  You would probably want to order the unit configured to have the spinner on the Z-axis, so that the trackball occupies the X & Y axes, which will allow it to double for a mouse.

2)  I don't know jack about Linux, but I know that the OptiWiz requires no drivers under Windows XP- it detects as a standard HID mouse device.  If you can use standard HID mice, you ought to be able to use an Opti-Wiz.  I don't know if Linux complicates using the Z-axis, but again, if you can currently use the scroll wheel on a standard HID mouse, then the Z-axis on the Opti-Wiz ought to work.

Hope that helps.
