Ok, perhaps this is a dumb question - I"m allowed one here no? I'm mounting a Mag Stik Plus, and the mounting plate horizontal distance is around 95 mm and 64 mm vertical - I would rather have it mounted (turned 90 deg) clockwise such that the horizontal becomes vertically placed - to save CP space for a trackball placemnet and spinner. It shouldn't matter if I make this change provided that the joystick wires are respectively wired mapped to reflect their direction. Okay, shoot me now. :) |

This usually only comes up when people ask for a wiring diagram for the Japanese sticks that come with multi-colored harnesses. |

I always thought that the larger measurement was vertical and the smaller was horizontal. I have always mounted them this way. |
| PL1:
The sticks I've seen with a metal mounting plate that connects to the body of the joystick have a square pattern for the screws holding the plate to the body. This comes in useful when you want to turn the mount plate 90 degrees for an LS-32-01/LS-32-02 type stick like Badmouth mentioned or a triggerstick like this. Scott |
