New idea for restrictor plates!

<< < (2/2)

Garvv:
No it doesn't, so I guess the restrictor plate wouldn't be useful for q-bert after all.  But, given how the universal mounts (basically just like a push-button), you could easily loosen the push-buttonish nut holding it to the panel, rotate the entire joystick 45 degrees, then tighten it again.  With the restrictor plate set to 4-way, that'd give you perfect q-bert play.

They're nice sticks, both with regards to feel and versatility, but don't look all that much like traditional arcade joysticks.  Their main eyesore is the large square plastic base which is visible above the control panel.

It's true that the idea of the restrictor plate which can be adjusted is not new. But I do think the idea of being able to rotate the plate on-the-fly without removing any screws is new (and it was not the Japanese that thought of this as I told them this is what I wanted and they did a mod)
The E-Stik is very similar to the one that Happ used to sell, (I think they don't any more) and comes from the same manufacturer. Remenber that Happ are a re-seller mainly, and don't originate many products.there is no copying being done here!
