Title: Joypad buttons be like Microswitches ?
Post by: DOC on December 09, 2003, 04:35:26 pm

i want to know if a button on a joypad works the same way as a Microswitch button in our cabs ? is it connected  same way?

*of course not, there is a board instead of free wire - i know *

you might think " PSX joypad, but no no no.... i'm talking about a standard 4 button Joypad.. old models...  * for computers *

please don't bother handing me other information or ask about what model i refer to.. just give me a simple answer if that is... :)

Like the old school Gravis Gamepads?  I believe they also had boards in them and pushing the button down just completed the circuit... just like any other buttons.
