Title: happs joysticks
Post by: ptpeter on January 06, 2007, 06:24:09 pm

hey guys,

               I have two of the 4/8 way switchable (the little white lever) joysticks and I plan on using them in my new cab except I cant think of a good way that allows people to easily switch between 4 and 8 way. I don't want people digging around in my cabinet just to switch it. Has anyone developed or thought of a easy way to allow the average person to switch between the two? Thanks

Peter

The biggest issue I had with my magstik+ 4/8 switchable was people figuring out which games used 4 and 8 way controls. Some people just don't seem to notice or care whether or not they are in 4 or 8 way.

That's the entire reason I went with the Mag Stik Plus from Ultimarc - switchable from up top!  Takes about 2 seconds!  Cheers

yeah, I don't know why anyone would want to have to do it underneath.  Seems weird to me.
