Hello everybody!

Inspired by Sorgeligs spinner controller i used it as a base for a joystick/spinner combo:

-joystick+12 buttons, fits those cheap chinese arcade joystick+button sets
-spinner reports as wheel/dial and as mouse, tested with Arkanoid and Block Gal
-switchable and variable rate autofire for button 1

The stick is on the right? - or is the photo upsidown? If that is the case, isn't the spinner in the way of using the buttons? Those screws... Making my hand hurt just looking at it.

Nice idea - needs work.

Yes, the stick is on the right. Thats the way i want it ;)
My fingers never touch the screwheads, the screws can be changed if they do, though.
And yes, the stick is indeed in the way. Turning the box 90 degrees when using the spinner solves this.

But what really nags me are the holes for the buttons. Without propper tools for drilling they are really ugly..
