Anyone know where i can find Rediculously small joysticks?
Hoagie_one:
i think i want to do a micro cab. I think i can pull it off with an lcd adn a micro itx Mobo, i can use radio shack buttons, but i need a tiny joystick.
Any ideas?

You're thinking right along the same lines I am for a similar mini-project (which I have in my head and will probably never get around to!)
I plan on cracking open one of these for the small joystick:

It's an 8-way and it's microswitch. And it's just proportionate to Radio Shack pushbuttons. In fact, you might be able to cut the plastic off the shaft and make it look like a small ball-top!
Google or search Ebay for "Epyx 500 XJ".

Hmm... if you want a really small joystick you could try taking apart an old cell phone and using one of those thumb joysticks. I was thinking about doing this myself, that is, if I could one of those 8mm trackballs.

i found a place that has a kit for one of those laptop joysticks that controls the mouse...but its $150.
need something alot cheaper. Might have to hack a joypad or something
