Title: Leaf conversions for microswitch sticks
Post by: Texasmame on April 12, 2008, 07:43:28 pm

I have some for the buttons but they aren't set up to work on sticks.

Anyone created these yet?   :dunno

Guess not.  Too bad - gotta think they'd sell like hotcakes!

The closest thing as far as I know is the GGG Micro Leaf. They have gotten good reviews as far as I know.

Those will not work on joysticks.  They only work on pushbuttons.  I already asked about this.   ;D

I have some of those ones that, IIRC, Ponyboy made up but they also won't "fit" in joysticks.

Hmm. . . may be time for some hacking and Liquid Nails.    :cheers:

Could you do the same efjayel switch hack to the switches in a joystick?

Microswitch stick = The Joystick's Microswitch.  :dizzy:

Yeah, I did it to a Happs Super Joystick. It was so clicky and annoying. Now it makes no noise. Well its not completely silent but any noise you hear are the other mechanical parts in the joystick. Feel a lot smoother too. Doing 360's on it is a joy.  ;D

I use Happ Universals, so a 360’ for me is a big square shape :D
