I have been rigging my keyboard here and there with happ parts here and there and it seems like a never ending pit. I just put my order in for a HotRod and put and end to my never ending project.

: 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!
