Seriously, my credit card has been burning a hole in my pocket for months waiting for one of your creations...but I'm sure the wait will be well worth it   ;)

Not to change the subject but you had mentioned in an earlier thread that you might look to replace the full-size Tron sticks with a hybrid approach on something like a comp base.  Any further thoughts on that?  I like the idea of having a true trigger option in a somewhat smaller form factor than the full-size Tron.  I'm more of a tank game buff and I never liked the feel of the Tron sticks for those games...

That's the idea, I'd be making this as part of my cab, but also selling it as a separate product.

As far as the Tron sticks, I am working on that as well.  The Tron repros were just a hair too tall, so they were scraping the bottom of my monitor shelf after I put in the 27".  So I am making a Tron-like stick that's a little more compact, with the handle about 1/2" shorter, which should be available separately as well.  I may add a rubber grommet to the design, to increase resistance and to better approximate the feel of a true Tron stick.

But I'm working night and day to get these cabinets cranking out, and it's close!  Expect some big news in a few weeks!  ;)

Is it just turning a lever underneath?

Thanks

It's a disc with a diamond restrictor that rotates on the bottom of the switch base.  You need to open the panel to do it though.  But I much prefer it as a dedicated 4-way, so I keep it screwed down tight in 4-way mode.

Voted "slightly interested".  

(The potential Tron repro: VERY interested!  ;))

Zathras:
I'm interested in both the pm/q and especially the Tron repro
