    Default Arcade Joysticks

    I really wasn't sure where to put this, whether I should put it here, or in gear, or even in midi fighter because it is somewhat relevant.

    Anyway I had this idea that I know I personally wouldn't be able to dream of creating, let alone afford it, so I'm posting it here. I also sent a message to eangolden on youtube, but here it is again.


    Cutting right to the point: a joystick controlled MIDI, or for lack of a better term, joystick controlled Kaoss Pad.

    I recently bought a midi fighter for my birthday, and it hasnt even come in yet but it still got me thinking. I mean youve got all these buttons and thats great, but "your missing the joystick", as my dad puts it.

    Just a thought, but I think it would be worth seriously looking into personally.

    So? any thoughts?

    and yes this is my very first post on here, I was just very excited about this idea.

    I'm chaomocha btw.

    well, to be completely honest the idea came over me and I didn't even think to check the store to begin with.

    yeah I've seen some mods done before, and with the kinect controller too. I just thought it would be cool to stick with an old ball and stick arcade joystick, keep the midi fighter theme going. But it appears they already do so thats that

    Do the Sanwa buttons flee in revolt? It's been proven through study they only last the long haul w/ Sanwa or Seimitsu sticks.

    Controllers, mods and gear reviews which is where it resides now.
