Rotary adapter for Happ/Midway 49-way Joystick
ddockery:
I'd be interested if the price is reasonable. Does i give a decent clicking feel when you rotate?

-Could you post the below-panel depth of the stick with the adapter mounted?
I'll take the measurements when I get home.
-Any idea what the end cost might be?
Not yet, the prototype was a freebie, now I need to get an idea on what the overall costs are going to be. I'm not sure if I should just sell the sleeve adapter and provide a how-to, or sell the complete unit. I was hoping to get an idea of interest because this will probably be the deciding factor for me. The idea of soldering 12 wires onto the switches 1000 times is a bit frightening.
-Does it give a decent clicking feel when you rotate?
It does, it is the exact switch used in the happ 12-way ikarii style. Each of the positions has a 'stop' so it clicks at each position.

If I had to guess, I think $20 would be doable for a complete assembly. Any more than that and I t hink people would just say skip it. Even if it was just a kit that youhad to solder yourself, I think $20 would be reasonable...at the most.

Yeah, I'd say $20 as well, maybe $35 for two would hit me perfectly. I don't mind soldering at all, either. The magic numbers, I guess. Maybe that's what first attracted me to RandyT's encoders? He picked the magic numbers. I'm dreaming of a stick that can do everything.
