Why it spins better

Built by gamers, for gamers

01

The first of its kind

The Tornado Spinner was the world's first custom arcade spinner designed for use with PCs and emulators — not a repurposed part, but a spinner built for the job from the start.

02

Meticulously designed

Every component is designed to strict guidelines by people who play these games. Arcade Inventors is a leading arcade design and manufacturing company.

03

Not only for gaming

The precision that makes it good for Tempest and Arkanoid also suits CNC interfacing and other rotary control applications.
