Matthew Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I bought a new CX40 off ebay and broke it within a week. The white plastic mechanism cracked. So I built this joystick from Japanese arcade parts (Sanwa) and a broken CX40 (cable and strain relief only). I was going to put an image under the acrylic, but I like it as is. I wish it was possible to buy quality arcade sticks for these older systems, (Atari, Commodore and Amiga).

SlowCoder Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Looks very nice. Assume it's designed to sit in front of you, rather than holding? Do you have any pics from the top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 It looks very similar to the one I built out of Happ parts, though mine has two buttons for 7800 compatibility. And I have buttons on both sides of the joystick so that it can be used right or left handed. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
