Since this stick and button combo connects as a USB gamepad, that eliminates the possibility of shifted inputs, right? So no admin functions via shifted inputs. Still looking for the exact dimensions of the joystick without the mounting plate. Anyone see it? (In the other thread, someone guessed it was the same as a Sanwa stick, but it looks bigger to me.) |

So Andy, whats the chance for a top button on a ball top similar to the guy who made some great looking buttons for the wico leaf switchs years ago? Could you get a hollow shaft? Or would the design not allow that? with the new push / pull spinners coming out... then this joystick... then 6 buttons could be the perfect combo for a cocktail table or a small arcade.... almost every game (minus trackball) at your fingertips! |

Oh yeah... And have you looked at using these in analog mode with 720? How well does it work? |

From what I've read, the restriction plates do not come off easily after added. I wouldn't get my hopes up of doing restriction plate swapping on the fly. Nothing beats an honest-to-goodness restricted 4-way, but this hobby has always been about tough comprimises. Do you want to clutter up a panel for a few excellent games), make a totally seperate panel for said games, or have a nice looking panel with joysticks that don't quite have the same "feel" for those games (though don't suffer from the problems of using an 8-way for 4-way games)? Any solution is acceptable, it all boils down to preference. Secondly, unless you're using less than six buttons and no admin keys, you probably will still need a keyboard encoder, or as Kremmit said, do a keyboard hack. Personally I'd just buy a simple $21 Keywiz from GGG and then USB up the joysticks. I hope (anyone at Retroblast???) when reviewed, there's a fair comparision (pros and cons) between this joystick and the other versatile stick, the 49-way. |

Anyway, at least think about it Andy. :notworthy: And thanks for another great product. Allister Fiend |
