hey everyone, i've searched and have even toyed around trying to make one myself (with an old wico "boss" joystick) but have come up empty. personally i think this would make a great seller if anyone is reading and wants to take this on... my dream joystick, take ultimarcs mag-stick plus (easy switching of 4 to 8 way from the top), make the shaft square (so it's keyed) and have JUST the GRIP be removable, not the entire shaft. that way, different joystick handle types could easily be swapped in. tron type trigger stick? check. flight stick with additional buttons? check. a man can dream... |

Do you mean like this: http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Wireless_Hot-swappable_Trigger_Stick_Mod You could mill a handle that cuts off short, is keyed, and has a wire jack for buttons but I found that just using rare earth magnets and wireless controls to be much easier. Mine was build on an Omni2 with a servo mod but you could use a mag2. |

There was The Link. But no joystick buttons... |

thanks for the info guys. i would rather have it wired than wireless, make it as idiot proof for guests as possible, no pairing necessary. my thought would be to copy the gravis blackhawk stick. telephone jack receptacle in the base, my case on my CP. then have each top plug into that. i do like the rare earth magnet idea tho! still some thinking of how to get this done :) |

It's mated to the dongle. One click and you're live. Anything involving any sort of a plug or cable that can be yanked by a drunk is not going to be idiot proof. I'll keep an eye out and see what you come up with tho. Best of luck! |
