That wouldn't be the analog hybrid that you've mentioned before would it? 

And it connects directly to USB or are you just borrowing the connector?

Looks nice either way.

I don't see what age has to do with it. It's either a good stick or it isn't. A lot of people rave about the Wico leafs and they're even older.

I personally prefer the feel of the Suzo sticks to the modern Japanese style which have too light a spring for my taste. That being said, I'm still pretty excited about the new Ultimarc stick especially if it's analogue and sold at a reasonable price. But I also hope that Andy designs his board (and replacement shaft?) in such a way that it can be used on a range of different joysticks.

Not that it's that important, but induction senses (name of joystick) is NOT the same as Hall Effect senses.  They do not use Hall Effect sensors (the coils are a dead give away, as well as other posts saying a magnet on the end of the stick is not needed, just plain steel).

Hall Effect is based on the strength of a magnetic field effecting the direction current flows perpendicular to the magnetic field, and thus the amount of current through each of two outputs.

Induction is a broader term, and have more to do with the moving or changing of the magnetic field (not the constant strength like Hall Effect) and the effect on the current or volts.

Anybody have a wiring schematic of this joystick?  All these posts got me wondering which induction property is being used.

Yep, absolutely right, but I didn't care about mentioning this because all other remarks were even less true....

Indeed, it's not a personal thing, but I just can't stand it when someone is making claims without any hands-on experience with the product.
The latest one is that the product is "old" so not interesting. Well, arcade gaming is old, in fact it's ancient compared to the inductive. Microswitch and leaf joysticks are tens of years older than the inductive. And even so, if it's good, it's good.
This is the last thing I said about that..... :banghead:

About the schematics........hold your breath and cross your fingers.......I'm working on it...

Andy....that looks really promising ! Stop teasing us ;)

I edited the wiki on these sticks but my image_fu is weak.  I don't know how to put the image of the restrictor off to the side like all of the other (nicer looking) pics.

Anyone care to help me out?  My thanks if you can.

----EDIT: fixed the image placement problem and added more info.  Hopefully it will be useful.----

Damn, Suzo don't have the schematics anymore (or don't want to give them of course)  :banghead: :cry: :badmood: :hissy:
