Push/ Pull Spinners

I'm not usually a fan of Randy's joysticks or spinner knobs.  I've never used any of them . . . I just mean that I don't like the design.  I don't like that bat/ball hybrid stick and I've just never liked his spinner knobs as much as the competition.  It's completely subjective of course . . . I just don't typically go for his style.  But I'll be damned if the knob on that up/down spinner isn't a bloody work of art.  That is hands down, unquestionably the greatest spinner knob ever created in the history of the universe. 

Strangely I can't attach a picture even though it's only 50k.  Must be something wrong with the site at the moment.  You'll just have to click the link and scroll down a little to see it.

I'll take time and read the liniks posted above and report back with more questions, I'm sure I will have them.  :dizzy:

I just ordered the Turbo Twist HL a few days ago.  I chose it because it's higher resolution means it will be able to play games like Arkanoid (which require a higher resolution/precision) more authentically.  Also, in some of the threads, people have stated that spinning the Blackhawk while it's pushed results in a grinding noise.  Probably not a big deal (not sure if gameplay would actually lead me to doing this), but it made me hesitant none the less.

Also, I understand why the regulars on this board might get annoyed when someone asks a question on the main page that has already been asked a million times... but way too often the initial response to any question on here is a snarky reply linking the search function.  Even when (such is the case with this thread) the OP is asking a unique question.  I've kept my eye on the spinner threads, and I know that there's never been an in-depth comparision between the two push/pull spinners on the market, so this thread could definitely offer something new to the database.

I recently got a TT2 and the blue spinner knob, but I was looking at the Push/Pull spinner.  I ended up going with the TT2 instead as there really aren't very many games that require a push/pull and for the money I couldn't justify it right now.

BTW - the knobs on the TT2 feel cheap.  I think the blue one that I purchased additionally was made of plastic with a metal insert.  It just felt cheap when trying to use it...  I thankfully had my good ol Oscar laying around that had the engraved MAME spinner knob on it.  It fits the TT2 perfectly and feels much much much better.  I really wish I wouldn't have spent the extra on the different knob...

Hey Dazz.

Yeah the push and pull it not really used for too many games but it is just one more feature that is nice to have. I'm sure you could find ways to incorporate it into games that may not even use it, if that makes sense.
