Ghetto supergun sticks

Post by shmuppyLove »

I have some spare joystick parts I want to use for a joystick for my supergun, but having trouble coming up with a way to mount them.

Show me your ghetto/budget/slapped-togther 'gun control setups.

I love it! Even has a hinged top panel, just like a real cab :lol:

Where'd the box come from? How does it hold up during play?

Thanks, I think it had some router or other consumer electronic in it, I can't remember exactly. It holds up surprisingly well actually, the buttons are long HAPP competition, so the bottom of the switch is resting on the bottom of the box giving it some extra support.

I used a shoe box for awhile and it was decent. Any box with a corrugated top should hold up pretty well.

I made one years ago using Reebok shoebox. They're also pretty sturdy. :)
