That looks pretty cool. Does anybody know if you can get something like this in a plug and play variety? I unfortunately lack the man skills of a true BYOAC member in wiring, soldering and knowing how to interface stuff like this with a PC. I've previously tried a bit of Googling for a four way shifter without much luck (I can only find super expensive 'realistic' looking 6 way shifters for sims, when what I'd really like is a 4 way shifter like you'd find on a Daytona Arcade machine).
Failing that, can anyone point me in the right direction of a beginners guide in how to get one of these working...?
SegaOutrun:
im going to be using a $20 ebay encoder for mine MrThunderwing the encoder shows up as a generic joystick. Most come with the wires and clamps so, no work is needed other then plugin it into the switches. Although I use xpadder to turn into keyboard presses for more uniformity across all emus.
Anyone selling a 4 speed shifter by chance?
Malenko:
Just wire the 4 switches into any encoder. It's virtually plug and plug. If you need help, that's what we're here for!
MrThunderwing:
Cheers for the advice fellas. So something like this should do the job then?

Presumably the encoder has software drivers on board then that lets the PC recognise it?
Malenko:
that's actually exactly what I used with my shifter. Shows up as a plug and play controller . Installs as a generic USB HID no drivers needed
