Cheap joystick solution

Fact?

I got my joysticks for 5$ a piece, 15 buttons for 15$, and a minipac for 29$.
If I would have wanted even cheaper, USB joysticks to steal the interface from are a dime a dozen nowaday.

That's under 69$ and I even got to choose the colors.

now, if you want something to be standalone, external. Your solution is great. But to put in a CP, I'd still go for acquiring my choice of parts.

Thanks for the edumacation on the cost of arcade parts ... 'coz I don't have a clue what that stuff costs and wouldn't even know where to start ...

EDIT: I think it is a decent external solution and reasonably priced. But, it ain't exactly a bargain (and if you don't understand why, then you have no business lecturing anybody about prices).
