Say hello to the best "joystick" I've ever used on - I've always been a PC gamer, and WASD/Arrow Keys just feel natural to me, I'm kicking ass in games on the now. I'm thinking of having a run of PCBs made, and actually making a few of these that are better looking.

@yestergearpc I wonder if it would be better to put the "fire" button where it can be reached by the thumb of the same hand as the directions, maybe as a space bar so it can be used by either hand.

@StarkRG Considered it. But when I played Doom, I always used my right hand for strafing/firing, so the muscle memory is there. Could definitely add one in both positions on the "finished product", which I'm spitballing on a scrap piece of paper lol.

@yestergearpc Yeah, that's fair enough, and the 1600 controller was also used with two hands anyway.

@yestergearpc Nice🤩​! I love my collection of Competition Pros. But this is another level. I think I could play like this for hours in a row (in theory). Defiantly goes on my the list of projects.
