Crowdfunding: Retro joysticks "Immortal Joysticks"
On Kickstarter, Andrew (Amiga for Mortals) has started the crowdfunding of his self-designed and so far custom-built joystick "Immortal Joysticks" to enable series production (YouTube video). Around 29,000 euros must be collected for this purpose by 07 July. Features of the joystick:
- Aluminium alloy enclosure
- Authentic Sanwa Denshi and Seimitsu arcade parts
- Braided cable
- Standard moulded DB9 connection
- Switchable auto-fire
- Switchable 'up to button 2' mapping (up still functions normally)
- Zero-latency
- Enclosure size 145 x 121 x 39mm
- Hand-built in the UK
After initial discussions with suppliers, the housings will most likely be black, but the buttons, ball top, dust cover and cable braid should be customisable in colour. The colour selection will be made as soon as all final production details are confirmed. (dr)
