I tested it a bit (in USB mode) with Tempest and found that I need to cut the sensitivity down to 3% to match the 6% used when on the X-axis. This would seem to imply that something is different with the Z-axis and the TT2 (or opti-wiz). Maybe the scaling is different? Is there any difference (regarding Z-axis performance) between PS/2 and USB modes?
Of course, the reason for the Z-axis is the ability to add a trackball to the opti-wiz. If the spinner works on the Z-axis 100% as good as it does on the X-axis, then that certainly adds value to the TT2.

The problem is not with the spinner it is with Windows. Go to the control panel and look for the Mouse Properties and open it. Look at the wheel tab for your mouse properties the default setting will be 3 lines at a time for each click of the wheel. This is your Z axis. This property intercepts the action of the Z axis and sends 3 times the amount to any program listening to it. If you set this option to 1 line then you will have the same performance as if the spinner was on the X or Y axis.
TTFN :cheers:

I tried this. It was initially on 3, and I tried setting it to 1 and 10 and there was no difference in Tempest.

Kaytrim is correct in that it is a Windows "thing". There have been custom MAME builds to address this, and the topic has surfaced a couple times here, including what needs to be done to the MAME code to counter the Windows translation.
The Z-axis is treated the same as the the other two as far as the hardware is concerned.
