Ultimarc U360 Mod to add rotary function&Top-fire/LED

Andy,

I'm so glad to help!


I was just doing this to see if it could be done for a small bartop I have in mind.
It was supposed to be a "one of" hack that maybe someone could replicate, so I wasn't originally worried about it from a manufacturing stand point, but I love a challenge, and it would be great for the community if you could just buy one, and since Andy seems interested,
lets see if we can do it.

Awesome!

Yes please do these. Although I already own two U360's bat tops. Hopefully when(and I mean when not if) these come out there will be an upgrade kit option instead of having to buy the whole new joystick. By the way, will this "mod" interfere with the octagonal restrictor? And when are we getting lighted bat/ball top u360's? Hopefully that can be implemented with this mod as well. Like I mentioned in another thread, I just need rotary and lighted joystick for the u360 and it will be the ultimate joystick ever and will be completely set for my arcade.

EDIT:
I just test twisted my two U360 then the TT2 spinner and the U360's don't feel anything nearly as smooth as the TT2's. That might be a problem...  :'(

But the TT2 is intended for spinning and has bearings, so you wouldn't expect a joystick not designed to spin to be as smooth surely?!?

This will not be a spinner, it will be a rotary joystick. Completely different animal...

Adding top-fire and illumination would be even more difficult as the handle must be able to rotate. Not sure if this will be possible.

Well hopefully it is implementable with both if not, can you at least make a second u360 that does have bat/ball top illumination without rotary function? The lighted joystick option is one I truly need for my arcade that heavily outweighs the need for a rotary joystick. I'm sure both are implementable but would require higher end calibrated parts that would cost even more to manufacture.

Well at least get me lighted u360 joysticks.
