It is my opinion... that if you have the skill and tools needed to build a
Twisty Grip... then you have the skills needed to build a yoke that is much
better, for even less money.
The biggest problem with the TG design is that it has no gears. Because of that,
it does not calibrate properly in windows. And I believe you have to tweak a setting
in mame to get it to work decently. And even then... the amount of resolution
will be very low, and so you lose a lot of accuracy.
Other problems:
* Ugly
* Handles are not angled, which puts pressure and stresses the wrists when up/down.
* Buttons are horrible. Stiff/Slow. Sharp Edges. Not made for arcade speed and comfort.
* No spring return centering system (or very poor one... with a mod)
* High Friction. Takes more effort to control, because of the friction in the system.
* Labor intensive build. Lots of parts to cut and assemble.

Hey Heath,
I actually bought one of these awhile ago. I don't have plans, but could provide pics. PM me if this would help you.

So, I'm feeble minded. Twisty Grip gave me permission to host the plans long long ago, and they've been sitting there in the downloads section all this time :)

But that's for a spinner, not the yoke...
