okay, I've figured out how I'm gonna handle an arcadepc(for the most part). the only problem I'm encountering is that when it boots up, one would have to click on the desktop, but that's a minor issue that can be fixed by simply tossing a touchpad or something in there, and maybe a mini-keyboard for those...keyboardy things. not the point. the point is, I need a good pre-built joystick. case doesn't matter, as I'm probably going to yank out the guts or something. I simply want a good balance of price and quality(preferably no more than fifty or sixty dollars.). So, just what are my options? I've got USB ports and a PSX-USB adapter. |

Really depends on what you want it for and how you like your controls to 'feel'. When you say arcadepc are you building a cab, or control panel for your PC?. For descriptions of most types of digital arcade joysticks head over to ultimarc where there is a brief description for each type. If you want an analogue or optical stick then Happs sell some good uns (although they are pricey). If you want a PC stick then Saitek make some good quality sticks for the budget concious. Failing all of that if you want a quick solution to arcade control then go for a second hand X-Arcade, Hotrod, or if you can find one SlikStik. |
| yalborap:
fullblown cab, although I'm considering some type of design that allows the controls to be removed and used as a table-based control panel. EDIT: okay, I've found a pretty good deal on an x-arcade that comes with a PS2 adapter. if I run that through my PS-USB adapter, is there going to be a noticable delay between my command and the proper reaction on-screen? |

Yes there will be plenty of delay. First of all the X-Box has a slight lag to begin with. Most people don't notice it during game play but if you test an X-Arcade next to something wired up to a Keyboard encoder you will notice a difference. Second the X-Arcade wasn't made to work with Playstation Adapters so there probably will be some problems with it. If your going to just be yanking the parts out of the X-Arcade anyway why not just buy Happ Parts and a KeyWiz encoder? |

keywiz? what in the hell is a keywiz? |
