Urgent question/Extending Joystick

Postby bserres » Thu Jun 09, 2005 9:09 pm

Hey, I am extending a Wingman Force 3D Joystick. I have the handle taken apart. I dont need the buttons on the joystick to be functional, I have real switches, and whatnot that do what the joystick switches would do. My plans are to take apart the handle, extend the actual stick mechanism with PVC pipe. I was going to rewire the button wires, but do i really need to? All I need is the forward/aft, left/right action, no buttons!  Also, if I do need to, whats a cheep joystick with few buttons, that would be easy to do this too, because the Logitech Wingman isnt to simple, lol.

Thanks,
-Ben
