trying to make an arcade stick with a 2mm throw
(1/3) > >>
Broken:
thinking about modding an arcade stickwith a 1-2mm throw range. i want a stick that reacts quickly.

will any problem arise from modding a stick with a really small deadzone?
fatfingers:

I suspect that the problem will be that since you don't always move the stick in -exactly- the right direction you want, you will be moving in directions that you don't want to move.  Because our initial movement (1mm) is probably not exact, but after we get out there a ways we're much closer to where we ought to be.

But, what do I know?

Along these lines, I would hope it would be a phsycially restricted 2 or 4 way.  I cant imagine trying to only hit one direction on an 8 way with that small of a deadzone.

its 8 way, and i'm specifically making it this way to play street fighter alpha2.
TheShanMan:
I have a Mag Stik Plus which has a very small throw, and is 4/8 way switchable. I can tell you that I really don't like it for 8 way games because it's too easy to push it wrong with such a short throw (but I love it for 4 way games).
