I'm still unclear on what you mean by the top fire button and the button next to the left stick emulate the d-pad. Do you mean that when pressed the left analog stick functions as the d-pad? Depending on Sean's ability to use it, that's good idea from a design standpoint. From a technical standpoint, though, how do you plan to make this work? How will the same stick function as both an analog stick and a digital stick? I'm not putting down the idea at all, I'm just unclear on how that could be done. -S |

How it would work from a technical standpoint is that these things have digital switches built into the top already, which are wired seperately (the analog joystick will be using a couple of pots in the joystick base or something). How good a solution that is obviously depends on how much movement Sean has in his thumbs... |
