"You see, I face a whole new Monster!! I face a man, who represents, the Nintendo Entertainment System..."
This was my first attempt at building a stick. I had been wanting to for quite some time, but hadn't had the total sum of resources needed to do so. Though, once I graduated I rushed this project down.
It worked, for the most part, when I first finnished it in late febuary, early march. However, it had some ground and solder point issues that I was getting tired of dealing with. I just finnished re-wiring it tonight.
Anywho, let me know what you think and if you have questions I'd be more than happy to answer them; to the best of my knowledge. BTW, sorry about the trashy lighting in the pics - especially the PCB, ack.. I just go my digi cam on Sunday and haven't played with the apature yet.Oh, and my next project...a Supergun.WOOT!! Anywho, peace and love ya'll.

It depends on how a person grips the stick, I'd suppose. Like, I grip it with the outside of my hand resting along side the bolts, yet away from them. I execute with a combonation of my index, middle finger, and thumb only; depending on what it is that I'm executing.
Though, some peeps have a grip like they are holding a wine glass or like they're jerking off. I'm pretty sure if a dude grips it like they're jerking off, you're going to get sore after a while.

I used Happs for my shizzle. The stick is a Comp and the buttons are concave horizontals. I didn't get a 360 for two reason; one, you need to hack an analog pad and use it's +5v or whatever to hook up the 360's, since they're electric. I didn't feel like messing with that. Also, if I'm going to utilize a powersource from the pad itself, I'd rather pimp out with some SWEET LED's and light effects.
Second, eh, I just like switch based sticks for my fighters. I mean, I can't find my diagnals as easily as I can with a switch based stick. And even when I do, I can't hold em'. Though, I do like the spring rate of electic sticks better. That, and 360's are like $40+ as compared to the $12 for the comp. If i'm going to spend $40, I might as well import a japanese stick. "drools"
Anywho, thanks everyone for the comments, I appreciate it.
LOL..holding it like they're jacking off..sad, sad player that would be.

Dude, I've often thought about modding one of those madcatz driving wheels. Like, maybe throw on a Momo racing wheel and a harder spring, maybe even F1 shifting
I've seen a GT racing wheel. It had a cage, though, and a shifter. You actually sat in a cage, lol. Not sure how much it costs though. I'm not even sure if they imported it to the states or not. Anywho, peace.
