What does not to hard to switch at all mean?  Do you have to take the joy stick apart, turn a knob, flip a restrictor plate?

You reach under the panel, twist the bottom and you are done.  Not too hard :)

You should add that to your website, and maybe even put a picture.  To me, happs controllers where you have to pry off the pin, filp the actuator, and put it back on aren't to hard.   Twisting the bottom is super easy. ;-)

Consider trying a Prodigy. You switch those by moving a lever on top of the panel. Couldn't get much easier.

Well I don't like the ugly black plate/don't want to have to recess a controller and put new laminate on my cp.  Drilling out a pocket under the cp doesn't sound so bad.  I ordered 2, we will see how I like them.

I don't like it either. I built mine into my metal CP, but it sounds like that's not an option in your case.

I'll save the opinions for someone else, but without a mounting plate, these do present a small challenge in a wood panel.

Typically, one would need to create a recess on the underside to accommodate the dome at the base of the stick. 

Alternatively, you could use spacers and long hardware, but this could unacceptably lower the height of the stick.

Would there be interest in a small mounting plate for these?  If it was just a lasered sheet metal part, with no pem studs, I could probably sell them pre-mounted to the stick for an extra $6 each.


And they are not too hard to switch at all, as long as you have access to the underside.

Randy, if you're going to produce mounting plates then why not drill some extra holes in them and make them universal i.e. usable with all currently available joysticks?

Top mountable plates would be good. But it would be even better if you manufactured plates that could be fitted to the underside of a panel.

Just a thought.
