Can anyone ID this joystick for me?
(1/4) > >>
Daviea:
A company back east hired me to reproduce 500 of these little joysticks in December.  I just finished the job and discovered that the company is no longer in business.  I was paid, so I didn't eat it on the deal.  Anyhow, nobody ever told me what the joystick was for and I don't personally recognize the part.  I only took a single NOS part and reproduced it.  I took a picture showing the NOS part on the left and the REPRO part on the right.  A quarter is also pictured for size reference.  Can anyone ID this part for me?  Incidentally, it uses 150K pots.  Tell me this isn't a dead-on reproduction!  :-)

Kaytrim:
So in other words you are stuck with 500 tiny analog joysticks and no interfaces.  I doubt that these would be for arcade machines due to the small size.  It is possible that they could be used in game pads as a thumb joy.  They could also be used in remote controls for RC vehicles.

Just my thoughts,

I would say that these are from a higher end r/c controller. Helicopters and such use full analog controls.

Are they self centering?
knave:
Those would be sweet to use on a RC car...
