Got two brand new analog joysticks with trigger and top fire buttons for under $100. These go for $200 a piece!!! http://www.happcontrols.com/joysticks/95006500.htm I know about the Dual Strike hack, but I need to know if the pots for the Happ joysticks are also 5K or whatever that means. If so, then I'll go ahead with it. I tried doing some searching through the forums and also found this and was wondering if it would work: http://dave.bit2000.com/aki.html Any help is much appreciated! |

I have one of these too. I am not 100% what the pots are, I guess they are 5k, but I am not sure as the stick features a 'pot amp' board with some tiny adjustment pots on it (I'm not sure what this does exactly). I have just ordered a couple of Dave's AKI's, so I will post back when I've given it a shot...I am certain it will work fine :) |

Dave's AKI looks much simpler to use than the Dual Strike hack; however, I would feel cooler for preforming the hack. Plus, I also already bought two of the Dual Strikes, but they will make good X-mas presents too. |

I have both... and cabled them both so I can swap them in / out quickly... But this was because I was beta'ing the cards and wanted to see the difference between the AKI and the DualStrike. the AKI is MUCH MUCH easier to cable. No questions there at all. No worrying / soldering the board to remove the pots. But as hacks go... the dual strike isn't all that bad either. So expect an extra hour or so of time hacking a dual strike. AKI's only 'issue' for cabling is that you have to short all the extra axises. But that is such a non-problem really... oh crap.. I have to cut a 2" wire, and plug them in.... IE, super easy. next... features... 5 axis for the AKI so you can have 2 T2 controllers. Or 1 hydra + 1 pot pedel... or 2 270steering with 2 pedals. I haven't used the 5th yet myself... 14 data inputs vs (what was it... 6... I didn't hack them all) This isn't a big deal to me since I always have a MK64 accessable. I use it, but I didn't need that many. The both play great in the end. |

The AKI should be great :) |
