Never really understood why they were mounted the other way anyways...anyone care to chime in? --- End quote --- That's funny, I didn't realize I was doing it the "wrong" way when I did it that way before. Since the workings of the joysticks are omnidirectional, I sort of guessed that perpendicular to the screen was the standard way, funny that it isn't. I am glad to hear that the size should be doable. I will play with some layouts tomorrow I think. I finally have a day off and no plans. I am bummed out about using a switchable joystick because I don't like the short throw of the omnisticks that I have and the magstick plus is only 1 degree more. I don't want to use a dedicated 4 way since one of my current favorite games is Klax and it has a head-to-head option and sucks with 8 ways. Any suggestions on this? I don't want switching from 4 to 8 way to be a difficult process either. |

Magstick |
| bfauska:
The 360s sound really versatile and I would like the ability to play some analog based games as well, but the price is difficult for my cheap ass to deal with. I know that i get 8 button presses with each stick so between the two sticks I would have 16 buttons and two joys, but I need 16 buttons to do buttons, starts, and coins. This means I need an encoder as well as the 360. I like the idea of how the Magstick plus switches from the top more than I like the look of the omnistick prodigy, but I would like to do a single source order and Randy has really impressed me in the past. I can't tell if Randy's new Joystick is going to do analog/digital and how it will be configured, so maybe it'll meet my needs when it shows up. I also thought about machining custom restrictor plates for the omnistick so that I can rotate the restrictor with a motor and the build of the system excites me as much as playing the games so this might be a fun route too, but chances are good it'll take up some room. |
