Wiring Leland spring joysticks

OMG!  So these really are 2-axis analog joysticks?  How do they feel?  Good tension and travel?

Reason I ask is -- as you probably already know -- these things are cheap and readily available..  would probably make a great analog (maybe even dual for a console/2P setup) ;D

Brogner:

the tension is good on the sticks but they would make lousy joysticks for anything else.  The stick itself is stuck in the "north" position (using n,s,e,w) as a reference. I guess this is where the x or y axis is at 0 and the pots work from there.  I've noticed a couple of the newer arcade games out now uses these  larger versions in them. Hopefuly when these get emulated I will be able to use them there. videoconnect.com raised these to $20 a couple months ago.  I was able to get 2 for that price before they raised them. :D

If the computer sees them as analog joysticks (ie: you hack the hardware and install standard drivers), they should work great in mame.

I think he meant when they emulate the newer games that use that joystick/analog joysticks. ???
