I do like the control panel setup; and nice job on the sidewinder hack. Now just build an enclosure for that tv!

Your mind is funny.
There was a certain humor in the title, though, yes. But thanks to those who see quality in the project.
I'm surprised no one has noticed I have two controllers in there. And asked why. For those curious: I started off with the DS hack, and did figure out how to get more buttons from it, but I'm not sure I had enough, and it was a pain in the ass.
So I bought an AKI from someone here - and, as I just knew would happen when I bought the plug for the yoke harness and didn't buy two, the plugs are now out of stock. In the whole world!
If I find one, I'm going to change completely over to the AKI. I just hate to cut the harness wires, and I don't think the plug inserts in the old one would survive another round of removing and replacing.

Yes, my mind is funny. That's why the ladies love me so much.

Didn't notice that was an AKI in there as I don't have one and am only familiar with the name and it's capabilities. I figured it was an Ipac. So not only is the Plumarcade angled correctly, it's fault tolerant!
By the way, you can buy new plug inserts, it's just the Molex that's a pain to source...

Yeah, as long as you make sure to ground the unused axes. Hmhmhmh, he says 'unpredictable behavior may result', otherwise, and that's what happened; it wouldn't always respond on start-up.

Mmm, I hadn't thought of that. It's still a chore getting the inserts out.

It's easy if you have an extraction tool. Jameco sells them, along with the inserts:
