I would like to get your feedback.
I have built a spinner and am considering offering them for sale. Before I do that I want to find out if there is any interest.
The spinner:
- Aluminum knurled knob
- Heavy/Solid feel
- Arcade quality
- All parts can be replaced easily
- Uses quadrature encoder and encoder wheel like that on a mouse, but these were specifically made for the arcade industry.
- Connects directly to KE72-T trackball interface.
* Since this encodes the movement exactly like a true arcade spinner, it needs the KE72-T interface to convert it to PS/2.
Final price is yet to be determined. I'm getting some more sample knobs early next week. If they are as good as I think they will be, I'll be able to quote an exact price ($43 - $52, + shipping).
If you have questions/feedback please post here so everyone can see the answers.
Thanks.
