Yeah, that was my very first idea. You'd operate it like a lighter, with the wheel where the lighter has the spark wheel. The problems I'd expect with such a design are that it would have to have considerable thickness for being convenient to operate (lighters get away with being somewhat thin because you don't need much control over the wheel) and that there's no good place for a display unless the device gets really large (and then the right size would depend on the size of your hand.) Also, the wheels I found don't stick out very much, so they would be relatively inconvenient to grab. > But be careful: do you know how many MAME cabinets are never > finished, because the builder hooks up the joystick board to the > game computer "just to test that it works" before finishing the > rest? ;) Heh :-) I was actually imagining what a little car racing game using such a controller may look like :) - Werner _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
