A review of the Ram Controls Star Wars Yoke - Part 1
WareWolF:
You might want to wait until the pre orders all ship before buying one. I'm still not convinced I will ever see mine.

Excellent review. I might have to get me one of these. Where did you get the breakdown hardware for the mount?
Breaker:
Hi all,
Havok - thanks for the clarification; I was wondering why I didn't see Firefox listed in my Daphne menu! :)
Xiaou2 - very good point, and one that I share. I thought that any game using 5k pots natively would be good-to-go via the USB interface.
I should clarify that the yoke will work with other games, I just found the control was not as precise as I would have expected
in games such as Outrun, Pole Position and Stun Runner. I'd welcome input from anyone who has a yoke and has tried playing these games.
Kronic24602 - I suspect if you swapped in 100k pots for the stock 5k pots in the yoke you'd have a working 270 degree unit
(I really should give this a try and report back)
push2refect - the knockdown hardware came from Lee Valley: http://www.leevalley.com/en/hardware/page.aspx?p=40049&cat=3,41306,41319&ap=1
LV was just the most convenient location for me but I suspect Home Depot, Rona, or others will also have them

@Breaker,
Have you overclocked your Mouse Polling rate? I think in a lot of games the polling rate is much higher than what Windows initially puts out, this may be the problem. If you haven't maybe give that a try before swapping the pots.
Some info on how to change the polling rate can be seen here: http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Info_on_Serial/PS2/USB_Mouse_%27Polling%27
Cananas:
--- Quote ---set of washers and nuts for the mounting plate, a Molex wiring harness (for connecting the yoke to a MAME machine's game port) as well as a very nice 17 page manual.

--- Quote ---After emailing Dave to ask about a cutting template he advised that one was available and would be included with future yokes.

Recently, My yoke arrived:
- No washers
- No nuts
- No Molex wiring harness (not important, because I ordered the USB interface)
- No Manual
- No cutting template
Too bad.
