Works perfectly in Windows, nothing in MiSTer no spinner nor buttons.
The buttons and encoder work in Windows. In the game controllers control panel the axis shows as "Dial" and all buttons are functional. In mouse mode the spinner acts as a mouse X axis, as expected. MiSTer doesn't recognize any input. I made no source code changes.
Some output from lsusb and dmesg (device ID changed because I had plug cycled a few times).

Hi @opcow
I'm guessing you've already added the controller to the Mister's recognized joysticks list, but just in case (and maybe for others), can you check out this guide? https://boogermann.github.io/Bible_MiSTer/getting-started/inputs/joystick-mapping/
Thank you. I feel kind of silly, but I thought buttons and the dpad on my other controllers were recognized without going there, but maybe I just forgot. For anyone reading, after selecting the menu "define joystick buttons" it asked me to press DPAD right. I pressed button 3 on the spinner since the spinner has no dpad, and the controller was then recognized. I defined the A/B/X/Y buttons and saved. (I don't think anything else there was relevant unless in mouse mode maybe?). I did the same for the Arkanoid core and saved. After that the spinner works in Arkanoid.
@willoucom thank you so much for making this. BTW, I wasn't able to source a C38S6G5-600B-G24N but Amazon sells E38S6G5-600B-G24N as well as 360P and 100P versions. I don't know how the C and E parts differ other than the E uses an optical sensor, but it's probably worth noting that my encoder does not tolerate less than 5V and my Pro Micro is outputting a bit under 5v, so I used a boost converter to power the encoder.
I agree with you, the Mister is sometimes difficult to understand.
You can also press the F12 key once the controller is recognized, it resets the assignment and you can reconfigure as you wish, without having a key assigned to the right arrow.
I've been working for a few weeks on an alternative version with a joystick and more buttons, which might be more usable for games like eco fighter and forgotten world. It's still very messy, especially on the layout of the buttons and the spinner, but it's promising.
