Looking for ideas... T-stick, external switch

<< < (2/6) > >>

Stingray:
I'll throw in a vote for the Omnistick Prodigy. I've got one and the 4 way/ 8 way switch works brilliantly. There's no need to re-invent the wheel here.

patrickl:
Another option would be to connect two rods. One on the left side and one on the right side. One would then be for 4-way and the other for 8-way. You could even mount the stick a bit higher up then (with longer rods).

Would the kids even notice that they were playing a 4-way game with an 8-way stick though?

About the prodigy, does it come with a proper handle yet? The plastic "eurostyle" handle I saw on it before looks very un-Galaga if you ask me. That and the fact that I didn't feel like putting a handle (moving along an arc) through the top of my CP cover made me opt for the T-Stick Plus.

Actually, I had some kids over (age about 5 or 6 years) a few days ago and they were playing with the my T-Stick Plus even before it is mounted! Apparently they found the switching mechanism interesting  :P  They had no trouble switching it over.

If there are different people behind the cab then you might have to explain it  over and over again yes. Allthough I think you would have to explain anyway, whatever switching option you choose.

The Retro-stick (name?) version has a ball-top.

I have to admit I've never been able to find anything on that site (with all the non-functional buttons and stuff), but even if you say it must be there, I still cannot seem to find it.
