Amiga keyboard joystick

We should have them ready by March.
I can send them to you if you need some for the tournament.

Sounds nice, thx for the offer. If u send them with Rasmus, yourself or Peter in the package to enrich our PC SWOS tournament then I d say yes, send them ;D

Hi Junior,

nice pads.
I built some pads, too,
Also by the innovations of Djowger. Thank you therefore Djowger!

I would be interested in the thing how did you manage the thing with the second button?

Have made a Keyboard Joystick with a normal Keyboard (no Cherry MX or other Mechanical Keys needed).
The funktion of this one is like a gamepad. I use for it a old gamepad wich i open and steel the contacts of the buttons, then i have glueing them into a standard keyboard on the place of the keys i like to use (my keyboard joystick use arrow keys and STRG left and STRG right). After that i solder cable to the contacts (buried cable and a cable to the directional pin, like you know from the d-sub 9 amiga gameport). After solding evrything together there is a rubber mat with dints (that is in evry standard keyboard) on the back of the dints i glue a aluminium foil and then i lay the rubber mat into the keyboard like it was before modified. And i make the Keyboard on the rubber mat. Now evrytime you klick one of the keys (arrows or STRG) the aluminium foil makes a short between the buried contact and the directional pin. Thats all. Works. Have a different feeling to a Keypad with mechanical keys, it is more like to play with a keyboard.
Maybe on next offline event (Aalborg- or SWOS Hanse Cup) a keyboard player should test it to know if this one is a good feeling. For me it was a good experience when i play some games against CPU. The feeling for me was like playing with normal keyboard after a few seconds (the keys a little b it firmer then on a pc keyboard), but as you know i m a gamepad player

Here are some pics:

Nice work hairfu, please bring it with you to Aalborg so we can test it. It kind of reminds me of the one Dior made for a polish sensible tournament.
