Fevereon arts - Arcade sticks
Well, these a a good bit old, but i thought it would be fun to post these guys again, seein as i'm starting to go back to my roots..

Rigged this sticks from an old keyboard found at a thrift store, wood scraps, a a butchered stick i had, and some random arcade bits n' pieces i got off ebay... I spent some time trying to optimise the layout to somewhat emulate some of the classic games which had more complex controls beyond a stick and 2-6 buttons of the more modern games (ie. Defender, Stargate, asteroids), as well as compensate for titles that have odd controls (ie. joysticks that you twist or rotate to aim.turn (Gondomania, Xybots) which is compensated with the two buttons below the stick).. i might install a second stick in the future for the great 2 fisted action with titles like Robotron or Smash T.V, (once i get another Sanwa stick)

another stick i built specifically for Assault, one of my all-time favorite games...it had tank controls (one stick for each tread) but it used the right and left directions as well,
needless to say, standard controllers STANK...
found some cheapo cool looking analog flightsticks at Walmart and a no frills PS controller i nabbed at Blockbuster video... for $4- ultra basic design, easy to wire^_^, converted the analog to binary (by breaking the constant connection analog sticks have), and rigged the two together... plays pretty well with the Colony Wars series too^_^
Behold the mighty innards of the assault stick!!
