Anyone have any idea why the original Tron joystick has an extra leaf with 3 wires coming from each switch? |
| NoOne=NBA=:
The leafs probably came off a Wizard of Wor stick. The first set of connections would make you TURN in a given direction. The second set would make you MOVE in that direction. |

Wizard of Wor was the first thing I thought of, but then I went and looked at a few things. Encryptor may be counting the blade that pushes the other two together as a "third leaf". Wizard of Wor sticks have four blades on their leafswitches. Further, I just looked at the bottom of a couple of Xenophobe joysticks, and for no reason I can think of, there is indeed an extra wire soldered on to one tab on each switch, so that each switch in fact has three wires. Pics coming. |

Here they are, Wizard of Wor on top, Xenophobe on the bottom. Note the extra leaf blade on WoW, and the extra, redundant wire on Xeno. |
