Joysticks

 

           You can find here descriptions of different constructions, their design, technical parameters, history and my experiences gained by using it. Each of my reviews is based on at least 2 duplicates of particular model - so if I describe something as a weakness, it's not an accident that I might have had bad luck and tested faulty item. Exception of this rule are cases when production of given joystick has already been stopped, and I could only get 1 pce of particular item. In my reviews You can find chapters regarding modifications, but I warn You not to make mindless steps that can lead You to damage the controller. Let me quote Murphy's Law: "If you mess with a thing long enough, it'll break". Remember: You can use supplied schemas of modifications only for Your own personal use! I did my best to buy original controllers from reputable producers, but You can find here few less known brands too. I've included it for comparsion purposes (bottom scale), or because of its very good availablity on polish market.
