Ball top joysticks

<< < (2/4) > >>

Jack:
Thanks alot guys.  The J-Stik is perfect.  I just ordered one along with a wiring kit.  

I recently finished my cab construction and am now on to the control panel.  I forsee MANY questions in my future  :)

TaskMaster:
The problem with the ones for wood panels is the travel is long.  You need one for a metal panel so the travel is shorter.  I have a longer travel one on my CP (put it on a couple weeks ago) and don't like it.  I am going to get one for a metal panel and make it work.  The long travel sucks for pacman and whatnot, drives me crazy.

CthulhuLuke:
Hey, when you guys recieve your j-Stik's can you please post what you think about them?  I'm curious to see how they feel for fighting games, because I used those same type of ball top joystick when I went to japan in the arcade, and they worked really well, so I want to see if I should order a pair of those J-Stiks or not.
 -thanx a lot

1UP:
Hey, it said that the Jstick had 2 adjustable settings for length of travel.  Have you tried these, and do they improve things any?

Lookit those rotating restrictors...  :o

Hi All:

I also saw the J-stik yesterday and am very interested in it also.... So, I send Andy an email and asked some details... and he is very quick in response... I'm posting the email below since it seems like some people are also interested in the J-stik...when you guys have tested the J-stik, can you post some feedback ??

thanks,

Hi Andy:

I visited your website from a link from BYOAC and I'm interested in your joystick products.

I'm interested in the J-Stik (Japanese) Ball-Top but I would like to know more details about it.
Can you tell me how long is the shaft (the stick itself) ??

70mm to the top of the ball.

How about the screw distance in the 4 corner holes ??

Same as Happ super, which you can see a drawing of on their site.

Is there a spec somewhere on the web where I can read from ?? Is it mainly for metal control panel ??

All sticks are made for wood panels. The correct way to mount these is to recess the front plate into the top of the panel and use an overlay with a single 10-15mm hole. Many people don't use an overlay though and mount the stick under the panel. This means the panel can't be too thick though, and the large plastic washer is left floating on top if it's fitted.

(because I'll probably use 3/4" oak wood for my cabinet... I would like the stick to come out more....)
also, how big do I need to drill the center hole ?? These are 8 way only joysticks, right ??

They are 4-8 way.

And for the ones above, (the Thumb candy ones and the T-Stik (Toggle-switch
stick) which are 4 way / 8 way interchangable), do they have the same mounting spec ???

The T-stik is non-standard mounting. I'll try to get a diagram of this done.
The E-stik is single hole 27mm mounting.

Hope this answers.

Andy

Thank you,

- Henry.
