Title: Tron Style Joysticks
Post by: Brax on November 14, 2002, 10:34:27 pm

Theres an auction going on now for a Two Tigers control Panel. There's FOUR joystick handles on this control panel and they seem very similar to tron sticks... The good part? It's only 11 bucks so far with 2 days left.

Actually... look close. One is all blue, One is black and two are half and half! lol

I'd want two for my panel... darn.

don't mean to pour cold water.....

I looked at the pic closely....

seems like the most left one is broken at the bottom...
(showing the shaft...)

also.... the left handle has a thumb button....
but seems like the right handle does NOT have the thumb button....

and I cannot see if they have any trigger buttons....

otherwise... it looks ok....

Yeah, the more i look at them the more i see they're junk.

Nice description too... "see picture for details"

There isn't one good blue joystick in the lot.

Its up to $12, its nice of you to share this with us but seems kinda silly on your part to advertise it if your planning to try to get it on the cheap....  ;D

I wasn't planning to.... then I guess i convinced myself... then I confinced myself not to! heh

I can't use them at all. I want blue tron joysticks and it appears there isn't a good blue one in the bunch....
