LeChuck, your hot-swap wireless trigger stick mod is really innovative - very nice work. How strong are the magnets? Ever had an overzealous person pull the knob/stick off in the midst of playing? |

ok, i found some good pc joysticks that i want to try this wireless mod on. if you look at my machine, there are TWO sticks i want to do this to. the two sticks closest to the trackball, currently i have two happ top fire sticks. but my question, can i add two? the presentation clicker sends "page up / page down". are those commands configurable? if so, i can add two sticks. if not, well, i'll need to figure something else. also, can this be done with any stick that has a threaded shaft (removable ball)? i'm thinking of trying GGG's "zippy" stick btw, where does the battery go in the stick for the clicker? do you have to take it apart to install a new batt? appreciate any info you might have |

As you play with your hand around or ontop of the handles and not underneath you aren't giving it the pressure in the right direction during regular or vigerous play. I have yet to have either come off accidentally by my hand or by a guests. I think the quick release Nep posted is even better tho. You'd just need to by two so you could hot swap them. Mines cheaper and has worked well so far but that one quick relase is a pretty choice piece of gear. --- Quote from: tony.silveira on May 01, 2012, 07:20:33 pm ---ok, i found some good pc joysticks that i want to try this wireless mod on. if you look at my machine, there are TWO sticks i want to do this to. the two sticks closest to the trackball, currently i have two happ top fire sticks. but my question, can i add two? the presentation clicker sends "page up / page down". are those commands configurable? if so, i can add two sticks. if not, well, i'll need to figure something else. also, can this be done with any stick that has a threaded shaft (removable ball)? i'm thinking of trying GGG's "zippy" stick btw, where does the battery go in the stick for the clicker? do you have to take it apart to install a new batt? appreciate any info you might have --- End quote --- Depends on the clicker. Size is at a premium so watch what you order tho. The one used in the wiki entry is not programable but others have more than just two inputs. If you get one that has directional keys you should be in the clear to use two. This can be done with any stick that has a removeable top. Pretty much all but the cheapest bats will. Zippy from GGG will work fine. Battery goes in the handle, I think the pics on the wiki show this but I can double check. When you need to change you do have to take the handle apart. I start using mine before Christmas and haven't had to change yet. That's like almost six months so nyar. |
