I like tinkering! Still have the X52 obviously and will give it a last chance with another mod but I don't like the plastic internals one bit. Right now I'm pulling apart an old Logitech joystick to make a new panel and starting to think about how to use the hat switch buttons...

sorry, misunderstanded completly.....

Recoil: Nice setup you got there. I'm on a Mac myself. What is your setup CPU and GFX? Do you have plans to mount the throttle to the chair too? Never saw someone do that with a Herman Miller chair! Looks great.

If you're interested in, but not familiar with HE sensors, have a read of the link in my sig.

You can make them quite cheaply (under $10 each) with linear output, no spiking, and no contacting parts -> no wear.

The hard part is mounting them nicely in a stick with a conventional base.

Thanks - I've just been thinking about using a U-joint or similar for building a stick and now I know I'm not crazy... A car U-joint seems a bit excessive though? What about a tie rod end or something?

Is that yours in the link?
