Guess I can avoid a for sale thread. I think someone posted it to facebook (which I'll gladly take $20k to sign up for) and I got numerous pm's and also sent pm's to interested parties in this thread and I'm all sold out now. --- Quote from: opt2not on September 26, 2017, 07:31:32 pm ---It's gotta be a hellava lot better to use than the stock controller. I have a hard time with the buttons, but having more arcade grade pushbuttons would make this console play a lot better. Too bad you couldn't get a small balltop on top of that joystick ;) --- End quote --- It's soooo much better than the stock and perfect for adult hands. The sanwa buttons don't need to be bottomed out to engage, so you can find that flutter point like a leaf switch. Having the buttons in a row is great for homebrews and others that use 1&2 for left and right. Another highlight is playing protector (defender clone), button one is a thumb twitch away for reverse, can't say that for the stock controller. Button 2 is also nicely within reach from the joystick. I also notice that while gaming that there is no wasted muscle strain with having to hold the controller in place in use on a flat surface like I do with the stock unit. **EDIT** Another thing, even though I did a complete tear down of the pots in my stock unit, it was still jumpy and loose. It wasn't til I built the proto that I noticed that Pole Position has 3 steps of analog steering, I've always read that hyperchase and starhawk were the 2 games that had analog. The joystick I use in the controller is pretty nice. As for the ball top.... eeeww. Although, a week ago I did stumble upon an odd completed sale on ebay with a strange button layout and a joy with ball top. :dizzy: http://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Vectrex-Blackout-Controller-/112497580180?hash=item1a3160d894%3Ag%3AmdwAAOSwYyVZeTvl&nma=true&si=kP0eQx1hQxa0YN95WW%252FV%252BmidXMk%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 I'll also gather up some links to the things I ordered, busy finalizing these controllers to ship this week currently. good day. |

Looks like some folks will be receiving their panels today. I wanted to have this done and printed before I shipped stuff out, but time got in the way. Here's a link to a pdf to help with any analog calibration that may be needed. https://www.dropbox.com/s/5n0qzd411mgyfx2/CTDEPanelCalibration.pdf?dl=0 good day. |
