| Converting this cheap 8-way stick to 4-way? |
| (1/2) > >> |
| JoyMonkey:
I bought a couple of these dirt-cheap 8-way joysticks on eBay some time ago, thinking that there would be an easy way to change them to 4-way. Their construction is not like any I've seen before. Does anyone have any experience with these? |

This is what I'd do if I were you. Take a piece of metal and my dremel and try to construct something like... | | | | | | | | V V V V This V V V V |

Don't you just looses those 4 screws and rotate the plastic thing and you will get something like that one pic. |

I think maybe I need to find something to act as an actuator thats diameter isn't as large as the one that comes with the stick; thus making the throw longer and making the diagonals harder to hit. Then maybe I can make a restrictor like you're saying... |
