Need help locating joysticks
« on: December 07, 2003, 03:44:29 pm »
I'm working on a project that will require many joysticks, of a certain type/feel. I need them in groups of six, preferably... any Analog or Digital Joystick will work, as long as the handle has the 2 different, easily workable buttons. I need them to be as cheap as possible, as I am planning on purchasing at least 2 sets of six....  I only need the handles for this project, with the buttons.

Some good examples:

Usually the joystick is positioned to the left of the action buttons, and it should be the tallest thing above the panel.  Look again, you can't miss it <evil grin>

What about http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results_bargain.phtml?product_id=74853

I've also seen the Gravis Destroyer joystick for cheap/free with rebate occasionally.

Need some more help - I used all of the joysticks I ordered - microcenter has run out. If anyone can help me get these joysticks again for cheap, I'd really appreciate it!

Tiger-Heli - Thanks again. Actually, thanks a ton.  ;D
You helped me with my project immensely. It worked awesome! I doubt I'll ever find a deal as good as the first one you posted. I should have bought thirty.

If your interested, I can post pictures...

Used plastic primer and spray paint, ala oscar's bartop instructions. I think it turned out pretty fancy
