Title: U360 mounting question
Post by: somunny on May 25, 2008, 08:14:53 pm

I'm assuming that I could mount the U360's sideways and then reconfigure the inputs in the software.  Is this correct?  I'm trying to deal with a possible space issue.

or just remove the base plate and turn it 90 degrees.

Ok..  Let me preface this by saying that I don't have the sticks in hand yet (they're still on holiday with Franco  ;)).  The base plate and base end up being mounted perpendicular to each other.  Am I understanding this correctly?

Thanks for the tips, guys.

The joystick base, the plastic housing, is square.  Only the metal mounting plate is rectangular.  You can easily orient that plate either way, horizontal or vertical as you wish.  I put mine vertical.

When you get yours, it'll make even more sense. You'll look and go, "Ooooooh, I see!"
