| What's up with the angling? |

the underside of the panel is routed to fit the square mount, and screwed from underneath...not the hardest fix. I would just need to route the "square" pocket "straight" then maybe some re-wiring. I just wish someone would have told me the right way to do it when I was building. I found a pic: |

Looks like a really nice machine. When you go to do the fix think about upgrading to perfect 360s as long as you are already taking it apart (to get the joysticks up to the same level of quality you seem to have on the rest of the machine). :cheers: Do you use left hand on the trackball? That is the only way I can wrap my head around the trackball buttons! ;D |
| loppydog:
yeah, right hand on track ball, left hand on buttons. It works REALLY well for a mouse, I know it doesnt look like it ;) I will check out the 360's, are they a good "all around" stick? |

Pretty much nicest stick I ever used. I am using mine with robotron handles, but they are nice with the stock handles as well. The classic Wico leaf may feel just a little bit better, but those never have the great even sized zones of the P360. --- Quote from: loppydog on February 27, 2012, 05:52:53 pm ---yeah, right hand on track ball, left hand on buttons.

It might be overkill, but it definitely would bring the positives of console sticks (being able to position the controls relative to you and/or space yourselves out) while being more intuitive to seasoned arcade players. --- End quote --- I know this angling issue comes up from time to time. I am trying to absorb as much as I can before I start any building. I appreciate all the advice that experienced members offer to people just starting out in the hobby. Is my understanding correct that the U360s offer a software solution version of your proposed "rotatable" controls (obviously buttons stay where they are)? That is you could default all four joysticks facing north (up = orthogonal to screen) but in the software offer the option for P3 and P4 to angle inwards. In the very specific case where you had built staggered joysticks on a 4p cp and those edge joysticks were at perfect 45 angle to P1 and P2 and you were interested in playing games with two joysticks per player, would it be easier to play with staggered hands but both pointing north or parallel hands but both pointing 45 degrees inwards? Thanks again for input. |
