Joyswitch?

>without going behind the computer. Plus, if your like me, I find pretty hard to believe someone can charge >$50 for essentially an A/B switch box. (a) you can get it for $40. (b) the Joyswitch allows for switching between *four* controllers, in addition to *two* foot controllers. I once had an ACP (now sold), a Wingman Extreme, and two other joysticks, and being able to switch between them all was pretty nice. Well worth the price, very solidly built, I think it's a great idea and a great product... -Brad -- | '76 Moto Guzzi LeMans I . ||||||||||||||||||||||||| | . . . . . . .,___/--/|) Brad W Traweek | | \ \ \ \ \ \ \_/`~---'\_/ |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Just get a joystick cable extension for about $10. route all your joystick cables to an easy to get to spot (I used a small bracket and screwed it to the side of my desk). That way you can easily swap out joysticks without going behind the computer. Plus, if your like me, I find pretty hard to believe someone can charge $50 for essentially an A/B switch box. Just my 2 cents, Mike Hatten

: (a) you can get it for $40. (b) the Joyswitch allows for switching : between *four* controllers, in addition to *two* foot controllers. Right, but you didn't understand. $40 is WAY too much!! A bracket with an extension cable can do *INFINITE* controllers. Can you say, "I'm not going to pay a lot for this muffler?" PS - This is almost as bad as buying 'computer' speakers for $399 when you can get some SERIOUS speakers for $399.

The joyswitch also provides power to your WCS II, supports 1 of 4 joysticks with 1 of 2 rudder pedals (J2 X axis). You'd be hard pressed to come up with a solution for under $20 that can do what the Joyswitch can. Add your time designing and building it..... Different strokes. User A wants sound, user B want 100 watts, SRS surround, flat response, etc., etc. --- Gavin Gavin Adams, Greenwich, CT BEWARE Pacific Coast Micro!
