: Are you sure that is the way the Omega Race spinner works? If it were using a POT then the spinner wouldn't go around completely....unless I'm not remembering correctly cant you spin the omega race spinner 360?
: That leads me to believe it is optical.
I bought an Atari Jaguar spinner that has the feel of a pot but it spins continuous. The company that made the controller say they use optical encoders, they look similar to pots in appearance.
