Title: Analogue stick
Post by: ALeX K on February 16, 2005, 08:42:37 am

Am considering putting in an analogue stick into my CP ...

Anyway, has anyone used this Happ analgoue, and can you tell me about it?

It looks like you can just omit the plate.  You might need longer 43-0096-00 bolts in a wood panel though.

thanks, I could definitely try that. I had another thought... I could always recess the plate into the mdf from the top, to a depth of its own thickness (such that the plateis flush to the top  of the MDF), and then use my control panel overlay graphic and perspex to cover over that. So the joystick itself sits about 1mm lower than it would, and all i see are the bolts through the CPO. I might even try this with the trackball top plate... will look into it.
