Sasha Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 As I can see in datasheet provided, joysticks are same ones I got from Sony Playstation joypad. I bought some on a fleamarket for les than 1 Euro. And you find 2 in one joypad. Recycle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasha Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Did I say they work very good! You can leave or remove centralisation spring from it. Buton can be usefull 2. There`s post somewhere on the forum about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Mental note: buy PS pads.thanks Sasa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
style_riser Posted April 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 I like the idea of using ps pads, saves hunting down the little handles! And save few bucks towards my 128+ buttons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
style_riser Posted April 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 just pulled an old joypad apart, removed the centralizing spring from the joys, just need another 4 joypads!i found a uk supplyer for some led buttons but there £3.75 each!http://www.rjselectronics.com/cms/html/modules.php?set_albumName=album16&id=Fujisoku_LP_Range&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view_photo.phpAnyone know any cheaper and smaller?

dengel Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Note - I too pulled apart a PS2 joypad - The joysticks are made by ALPS, btw.Note about removing the spring: on the bottom of the stick, you'll see 4 tny crimp feet. pull them back a tad, and remove the bottom white thing from the stick - that is the "spring", not the actual spring inside the stick.Also, the hole diameter on the joypad is 22 mm. You'll need to round off (or better, bevel) the hole on your panel so that there isn't a sharp edge to cut the plastic stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stryd_one Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Q) Does the switch only illuminate when pushed? Or is it constantly illuminated? Or can it be configured as either? - D WillsonA) it is illuminated when in the 'on' positionThat's no good :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
