Yeah some of these are odd, at least in this game instead of non-existent rumble and rotating the items all over on mouse+keyboard until it detects the info there's a slight sound cue when it's close. Still have to rotate the things all over though to actually get the info because it's oddly precise in what angle it requires to unlock that bit.
(Bonus XP or what it does which you get all over the game already. :P )
