Need your help with some ideas for my controller.

Post by deltabravo03 »

Hello, everyone.


I've decided to maybe go ahead with building about 10 of these controllers to sale. I would like to know your input and ideas. I was thinking of making the same controller as you see, but with only 2 joysticks instead of 4. The joystick could have two different functions, just like the buttons. Would you think its better or should I stick with the 4 Joystick setup? Any other ideas you have would be greatly apricated. Feel free to comment! Thank you!

I think it looks awesome!
Perhaps make both a 2-joystick and a 4-joystick version, the 2-joystick one being a little cheaper in price than the other one...

Yes, Was thinking of that, but would need to order the parts in advance. Would have between 10-15 CND thats 7-8$ USD

I think the two stick version with 2 axis each to give the realistic's of the joy sticks that would be used In an Excavator so the two primary front loader functions on the first and the two secondary loader functions are on second stick and I would like to have one with that setup That would be a sweet setup for Equipment such as the scopion and other Equipment like cranes to be able to do that I use a xbox 360 controller now but cant set one up that way and still have driving and other functions this would be a awesome setup
