Turbo-Twist 2 to Minipac

RandyT:

Listen to u_rebel. :)   Configuring the devices to be independent will keep one from being active at the same time as another.  It's the easiest route if the software / OS allows it.

On the knobs, they are fastened via a set screw.  What type of set screw varies with the knob type.  If you expect to be removing the knob often, the TokenTop is the best because it uses a special set screw that won't damage the shaft when tightened down.  If using the standard knobs, it's recommended to just snug them.

A quick release would be nice, but would probably add an expense to the item that many would never see an advantage from.  The "snug" fit approach might also induce some undesirable traits, like wobble, or wearing to the point that a tight grip is no longer possible.  In the case of the TokenTop, it would also be likely to negate the variable resistance feature.

Randy,
How does the mini steering wheel attach to the existing spinner, once the token knob is removed?  Or does the mini steering wheel come with an extra spinner as shown in the pictures on the website?

No extra spinner.  The mini-wheel simply has what is known as a "slip fit".  The weight of the wheel is so high, and the resistance of the shaft rotation so low that friction is more than sufficient for accurate operation without the need for fastening.

It just slides off and on.
