hey,
I'm currently designing my first arcade/jukebox/console/pinball emulation cabinet. i don't plan to build it before the summer vacation but that doesn't matter because i already found out that i need that time just for the design phase since i keep running into decisions I've made that turn out to be to expensive/difficult/unpractical/stupid/big/etc
i was thinking about using the u360 joystick and connecting my buttons to it but i found out that i don't have enough buttons that way. I would like to have 2 buttons on the side of the cabinet for pinball games but i can only connect 8 buttons to the u360 and I already have plans for those. since i only intend to use the keys for pinball games i thought that i could connect several keys to the same connector so that they do the exact same thing. i could do this with buttons that i don't need for pinball and it would solve my problem. Is this possible or is there some issue with this that i don't know about?
i was also wondering in case this won't work what the cheapest way is to have a few additional buttons. could i take apart a mouse and remap it's keys for use in emulators?
and a last question: is there a way to use the u360 as a mouse? it's not really needed but it could be useful from time to time
greetings,
Wouter
