Miniature Joystick
Does anyone know where I can get miniature joysticks, like finger joysticks. I have only found one, and it was really expensive and had to call the company to get a pricing. If anyone could help, that would be great.

Re: Miniature Joystick
Yeah, you take the junky beige joysticks from the KOP, hack off the handles, and replace them with whatever you want.
That's the route I'd take; mod the KOP joysticks. JBot |

Re: Miniature Joystick
Well this isnt really the entire joystick, but it is very small and i would think all you need to do is build a case for it, but it is really small!!!

Re: Miniature Joystick
This might be too small!

Has some good ones. They make great full size joysticks as well (one to three axis, up to three detents on each axis, and a variety on auxiliary input options on the sticks, too.) |

Re: Miniature Joystick
You could also hack the ones out of a playstation controller, they are nice and thumb sized, the design is just 2 spring loaded pots and a micro switch. With a good interface that could be a really nice system

Re: Miniature Joystick
If all else fails, make your own. Someone else on the forum is already doing just that. Good luck in your search.

Re: Miniature Joystick

Re: Miniature Joystick
I was actually VERY satisfied with P3 America. I orderer 4 802 joysticks at $9 each. The shipping was $5 and I got them from CA to Miami, FL from Friday to Monday. It was all $41 called in the order for 4 pushbutton joysticks. I would tell you to try calling them again

Re: Miniature Joystick
The ones from p3 look great, however, it appears they are all 10k ohm. Don't we need 100k ohm for the OI?

Re: Miniature Joystick
No, according to Kevin W. anything above ~5k works well.
