Analog trigger stick

Pages: (1/3) > >>

Dexter:

Hi all,

I'm trying to source an analog trigger stick for my panel, preferably 2 button. I'm looking for something at the most 6" high i.e. a short handle, and maybe an original arcade part. The saitek I have is a full height PC jobbie and will probably kill the neat look of my panel overall.

Any recommendations??

Cheers

Dexter

Yes Dexter..... Your ideal stick here is an Ultimarc "Ultrastick 360". It is natively analog and can be programed to also behave as a digital stick. It also has button inputs built right into the stick.

It's not actually a trigger stick as such.... but you could fit a trigger stick handle to it and run one of its button inputs up to the trigger.

I don't know how you'd handle the wiring on that, though. As well, you may need the long shaft.

This would be sweet if it worked as you could also use it for tank games like Vindicators, Battlezone, and Assault using 2-way and 4-way software mappings.  Has anyone actually done this?

Not necessarily...... a Happ trigger stick handle would just bolt straight on to the short stick shaft.   As for wiring... it wouldn't be that difficult to drill the stick shaft.  You only need to run a single wire.... You could use the metal shaft itself as the ground wire and run a single wire to the switch.  Can be done!
