SLIKSTIK Spinner mounting
shorthair:
ace: mounting orientation doesn't make a difference. Generally, the 'top' of the spinner handle is what determines 'left' and 'right'. Though in some screens of Tempest (for example, circles, or any figure that wraps around itself) this will change depending on where you are in the field.

That is a nice little gadget there shorthair. Price is right and sure looks nice too,seems like it will do what the blackhawk spinner will do at 1/2 the price. I wonder if anyone has tried it for Mame yet?
Here is a quote on the movement of it.
"Instead of using a mouse or joystick to steer and a separate button to provide thrust, the SpaceNavigator provides complete virtual control with one highly responsive control cap. Tug the cap straight up and you'll lift into the sky, press it down and you'll drop, push it away from and you'll propel forward, or rotate it left or right to, well, rotate."
I assume if you pull it towards you then it will go backward also.
Seems like it would work in a cp to me. Now how do we mount it hmmmmm........

Did you watch the demo? I could be wrong, but that device looks more like a joystick than a dial / spinner control.

It looks like it doesn't spin, but rather rotates a number of degrees in each direction then "dead-ends" It also has a forward, reverse and side to side action as well as up and down.
It actually looksl ike it would be fun to use to play QUAKE or what not, but not a good "spinner" alternative.
shorthair:
Those are all things I've been curious about (except the range of rotation - good catch on that), so I called a dealer and am waiting to hear back. They don't even have them at Fry's.
