It is not so much motorized, but more like force feed back.
It is actually kinda neat to watch it spin. Unfortunatly, there is no control for a bit when it stops spinning. More frustrating.
but what are you too do. Considering this is the most serious problem and I get a loaner while it is replaced for free, not bad.
I think of it like a mouse on a computer and the connector is even like a usb hook up. Happened again today, this time after spinning it stopped working and I could spin it freely.
that is worse. I hate lack of control.
