Make sphere rotate when controlled

Are you sure it's not rolling? I don't want to be the guy to state the obvious, but it's kind of hard to tell when a sphere is rotating, because... well, it's a sphere, it looks the same from every angle.

If you haven't already, try adding some sort of texture to the sphere.

Sounds like you might not be multiplying the rotation by Time.deltaTime. And are you using Input.GetAxis or Input.GetKey? Perhaps you can post some code. We can help you more if we can see the problem first hand.

No ideas?

So I figured out that it is rotating, but from 0-359.9999 in about 0.0000001 seconds. I believe that is the problem, but I haven't been able to figure it out yet, help is accepted =)
