For Sale: Custom Joysticks

DJLC · 08-22-2007, 08:18 PM

I discussed the idea of doing this earlier and now that I have some of my parts coming to me in the mail, I want to start talking to people who are interested in ordering a custom Joystick from me. I want to start kind of early so I can find someone and talk to him or her about what exactly they wanted so I can get the design right.

Controllers I can do joyticks for:

Playstation 2 (and 1 because they can work together)

Xbox 360 Wired

Dreamcast

Anything else just ask and I'll see if I can figure a way to make it work.

Just a few questions...

Any idea of the price of them? (all Sanwa parts)

Shape of box?

Custom layouts?

Custom artwork/decals?

Also, have you not made any prototypes you can takes pics of? or are we the guinea pigs :3

Forgot to mention that the only button and sticks I'll have now are HAPP American parts.

Its not that I won't ever make them with Sanwa parts its just that my first batch of supplies happen to be HAPP.

Hey

This is probably not quite what you had in mind but...
I've wanted an xbox 360 control box for my cobalt flux for a while now. Would you maybe possibly be interested in making me one?

In your first post you mention "Xbox 360 Wired" could you maybe do something simmilar to this Arcade Style Control Box for Dance Dance Revolution but for the 360?

Oh God.

ummm.... let me know when your out of Happ, and start stocking Sanwa.

DJLC · 08-23-2007, 05:50 PM

Why do you guys hate HAPP and American buttons so much?

If you want, I can put a Sanwa Joystick with HAPP buttons as the buttons I have now are the best ones HAPP offers.

I have not made any yet but I do know what I am doing so don't think these things will suck.

Ditto on the Sanwa parts, I was looking to possibly buy a stick for the release of the 360 version of VF5

infamous360 · 08-23-2007, 08:57 PM

what kind of joystick is it... 8-way? 4-way?

DJLC · 08-23-2007, 09:21 PM

Of course it would be an 8 way.

I have not ordered the stick yet so what stick would you prefer I'd get?

The buttons will be HAPP though and I really don't think it'll be that bad because they are the best they offer.

Did you read my post?

Would you be able to make a control box?

Yeah I could but it wouldn't look good and I lack the parts.

Sorry. I might be able to do it in the future.

svartabrandr · 08-23-2007, 10:03 PM

That's too bad.

Please let me know if you ever change your mind.
oh and I wouldn't really care about the look as long as the functionality is there.

True that. I'll be interested as well.

DJLC · 08-24-2007, 07:32 PM

Alright, sence no one wants to take a custom order, I'll just make a stick and see if anyone is going to want it.

It'll be a 2 player stick PSX based.

could you by chance do some work on a beatmania USA controller?
