I’m interested in replacing one of my joysticks with an Ultimarc joystick with the rotary joystick upgrade.
You are asking about the "Ikari style 12-way Rotary Upgrade", not the optical rotary upgrade, right?
the area under the control panel is fairly shallow.
Didn't see a minimum clearance spec for the Ikari upgrade on the Ultimarc site.
- The visible part of the shaft is 48mm. (see installation document
here)
- Based on this photo, the distance under the panel appears to be about 2x that distance
plus however much extra distance is needed for the USB connection when the handle is pushed in that direction causing the rotary switch board and USB cable to tilt.
If you don't have
at least 4 - 4.5" (100 - 110mm) clearance, it
probably won't fit.
