Those are my feelings too. The best thing about making my previous 'experiment'
stick was that it was a lot of fun. From shopping for parts, building the case,
soldering the wires, testing it, etc., it was a great hobby. I figure I would spend at
least $140 in parts for any joystick I would make next... so the HotRod isn't that far
off. And since I don't think I will get around to ever making one...
Thanks for all the responses!
