BTW, if you plan on getting a USB adapter, the spec pots don't work,
but the standatd 100k pots do work.
rrevved,
I installed the "spec pot" and didn't like it. I use a PDPI digital
gameport and found that the spec pot has a stepped effect when using the
PDPI, not good for precise inputs. This problem is noted on the TSW website,
has something to do with being a 50k pot, the "stepped effect" problem may
not occur if your using the gameport on your soundcard. The PDPI is the only
way to go in my opinion, so the spec pot was no good for me, in fact, I
thought it s*cked. My TSW originally came with a large pot installed "Type K
Pec" which was completely shot when I removed it. If I held it in my hand
and rotate the shaft it is real stiff, almost binding plus its sealed making
it difficult to clean. You need to bend back some tabs and take it apart in
order to clean it, and I have found that pots need cleaning all the time. I
was given some extra pots when I bought my TSW . These are smaller pots
"Alpha B100k" they are the pots used in most controllers. The rotation of
the shaft is smooth and they are easy to clean. That's the one I'm using
now. I have been looking for a high quality 100k pot and haven't found any.
In my opinion, the best thing you can do for increasing the precision of
your wheel is install a PDPI.
