Logitech precision for hacking?

Just got one for that purpose, is it good for hacking to use for controls? If so is there a decent guide that works with it?

With the encoders on the market now so cheap - and software to program them I just don't get wantong to hack a joystick or KB?

I would keep the game pad intact and use it for NES/SNES emu.

Because I don't want to wait for a encoder to get here and I'm bored.

Beretta:

never hacked one, probably not very hard.

i assume you have basic tools.. a soldering iron.. some solder, some desoldering braid is also handy to have although may not be necessary for this particular project.[

a multimeter is also very helpful although not strictly necessary.

some wire, also a little bit of sand paper can be useful for cleaning contacts or removing PCB lacquer to tap into traces.

rubbing alcohol.

dont rush man.. it's good to want to get things done but it can get you into trouble.

btw what is your porjoject exactly? just controls or are you trying to convert a cab? or build one?


EDIT: @ miles2912

keyboard hacks are alot of work and rarely equal gain.

game pad hacks on teh other hand are'nt a bad way to go if price is a concern..

although it's hard to beat the functionality of the purpose built keyboard encoders they still are'nt cheap enough ot match a gamepad hack.. all 3 options are a matter of the amount of time, money, and work you are willing ot put into them.. all 3 have their pro's and cons

Its a tekken 3 cab to mame. I have all those tools and some, I know how to solder pretty well and I've done my fair share of mods and etc.
