A couple questions regarding bolt patterns on many joysticks

Pages: (1/2) > >>

Tahnok:

I have been researching many different brand joysticks for a project and the results have really surprised me. Is it true that Happ, Betson, Wico and Sanwa joysticks all use the same 3" * 2.6" mounting pattern? Of course, I know some of the specialty Happ ones, like the trigger stick and ball-tops, use different bolt patterns. I'm just wondering which ones by the other companies I listed have strange bolt patterns.

Also, what is a good standard size shaft hole? I understand that many of the standard ones only need 1 1/8", but that some of the  complex ones, like the P360, need 1 1/2". Can someone clarify?

Thanks for the help.

Kremmit:

You are correct about the mounting holes, and you can add X-Arcade to the list.  I dunno about the center hole diameter.

Tahnok:

OK, thanks. I forgot about checking X-Arcade. That's a great help.

Any information regarding the hole diameter is still appreciated though.

Tahnok:

Can anyone lend an opinion about the shaft hole diameter?

RichyRich:

The shaft hole diameter for the 360 doesn't have to be so big.Mine is only 12mm(under 1")and doesn't touch,thats on a 1/2" wood panel though.Hope this helps.
