I’ve had a Micro Center branded Atari arcade stick with trackball for several years and have really enjoyed it. It’s a fantastic quality build for what it costs. I don’t think they’re made anymore but if you can find one I highly recommend it. It’s also made with the raspberry pi in mind so it has standoffs to place one right inside. So it’s great arcade controller but it missed one very important thing. A spinner. Atari’s Tempest is one of my absolute favorite arcade games of all time. And the ONLY way to play it is with a spinner. The GRS spinner is an amazing product. It’s extremely well made in that it’s solid aluminum, even the body. So it feels very solid when you’re spinning. There’s no wobble or rattle or anything you would get with a cheap Arcade 1UP style spinner. Hell, I’d take this over an original Tempest arcade machine spinner. So yeah if you’re looking for a solidly built arcade quality spinner this is it. My Atari controller is complete.

Excellent spinner, very well built, feels high quality. Installation was a breeze. Rotation very smooth, almost too smooth, which makes control very touchy. Recommended.

I’ve tried a few other methods and products, but the GRS ones just plain work across platforms, MiSTer, Windows, etc. The config utility is also concise and modern. Doesn’t look like it was written for Win95 :)

These are pretty amazing!

I had installed a Pandoras Box Saga 516 in 1 Vertical + 3000 in 1 Horizontal All In One to mod a Pac-Man Partycade I managed to get on sale for $99 at Walmart. I bought this spinner especially to enjoy Tempest. Other spinner games was a bit still hard to control as the spinner despite configuring was too fast to control in game. But Tempest was my reason for purchase and I intend to use this spinner as I eventual build either a RPI or MAME cabinet.
