Tron Style Joysticks
« on: November 14, 2002, 10:34:27 pm »
Theres an auction going on now for a Two Tigers control Panel. There's FOUR joystick handles on this control panel and they seem very similar to tron sticks... The good part? It's only 11 bucks so far with 2 days left.

If you build a frankenpanel, chances are I don't care for you as a person.

Actually... look close. One is all blue, One is black and two are half and half! lol

I'd want two for my panel... darn.

don't mean to pour cold water.....

I looked at the pic closely....

seems like the most left one is broken at the bottom...
(showing the shaft...)

also.... the left handle has a thumb button....
but seems like the right handle does NOT have the thumb button....

and I cannot see if they have any trigger buttons....

otherwise... it looks ok....


Another Brilliant mind ruined by education....  :p

Yeah, the more i look at them the more i see they're junk.

Nice description too... "see picture for details"

There isn't one good blue joystick in the lot.

Its up to $12, its nice of you to share this with us but seems kinda silly on your part to advertise it if your planning to try to get it on the cheap....  ;D

I wasn't planning to.... then I guess i convinced myself... then I confinced myself not to! heh

I can't use them at all. I want blue tron joysticks and it appears there isn't a good blue one in the bunch....
