Does it work with wood? --- End quote --- --- Quote ---Long Handles: To fit the optional long handle: Remove the PCB by unscrewing the 4 screws. Lift off the magnet assembly from the end of the shaft. Remove the E-Ring. CARE: we advise to avoid spring-loaded parts being lost, place a cloth over the joystick when removing the E-ring. Swap the shafts over and re-assemble. --- End quote --- http://www.ultimarc.com/JShopServer/section.php?xSec=10 |

Now we just need a hollow shaft for the joystick so we can light up the ball with leds and a hole in the pcb or some other way of making the joystick into a optical rotary joystick. I think then the joystick will be perfect. |

"or some other way of making the joystick into a optical rotary joystick." That will be my second order of business, after playing a game of Star Wars with the stick in analog mode. I'm wondering about the method of using a rubber band or rubber traction band to a hacked mouse. I like the feel of the mechanical rotaries, but I doubt that I could keep enough tension on the gears to actually turn the switch. |

Not sure if this is a Windows limitation or not * Include the functionality of the 4/8 physical change as the mag-stik in the ultra-stik? * Have a rotary function for the games that need optical rotaries? --- End quote --- The restrictors are a separate kit. This is evident from the order (store) page but I will add this info to the main product page. You could plug more than 4 controllers into one system but you would not ba able to download maps to them. The 4-8 physical change, if you are using a restrictor, can be done quite easily from the bottom of the panel. I am expecting most people to use the stick without restrictor though as it is fully mappable. There are sample 4 and 8-way maps supplied in the UltraMap software and selecting each is a simple matter. Rotary: The design of the stick is such that a rotary fuction would be extremely difficult to achieve. I am thinking about it though. Editor note: Adjusted quote tag for readability |

I fear that this stick can have to long throw even with restrictors and what is way to engage. 60USD + additional parts isn't small price for me. Tests please. |
