Hi all, I recently posted a thread about hacking cheap USB controllers to use instead of keyboard hacks or 'proper' keyboard encoders. To prove the concept, as well as play around with a few ideas I had for desktop control panels, I've built two 'proof of concept sticks'. So without further ado: Playstation 2 controller (can also be used on PC with a $5 PS2-to-USB converter). Has rumble motors! USB PC controller (this one was specifically designed to compliment my Alien Bartop). |

Very cool, I especially like the Chun-Li artwork. Which PS2 controller did you use? |

What sort of joystick is that? I never like the look of those. Nice CP though. Very slick. |

Those joysticks are "MCA" Joysticks, which would probably be the most common joystick used in Australian arcade machines. They're actually quite good and very sturdy, but I don't like the absence of a dust skirt. I used these simply because I salvaged them out of arcade cabinet restorations I've been doing, and these were 'proof of concept' sticks. For any further sticks I make, I'll likely use Sanwas. |

Damn that white one is really nice. Is that box plastic or wood? Gorgeous finish and fantatstic artwork. --- Quote from: dmworking247 on September 29, 2008, 09:48:51 am ---Has rumble motors! --- End quote --- How does that work? Does the whole box rumble? Or just the stick? -pmc |
