USB arcade switch joystick v2

thingiverse

Here is my second version of classic arcade joystick. It uses a USB driver from AliExpress. You need to buy the "Zero Delay Arcade USB ENCODER PC TO JOYSTICK" for around $9. This joystick has three buttons and one button for switching modes on the USB device. Mode A works for PC mode B for Mister Project, but it may differ depending on the electronic setup. To build this joystick, you will need: * Printed parts (7 pieces) * Several screws to complete: 4 very small screws to hold the electronic board, 4 big screws to assemble the upper and lower part. I used classic screws, but they were originally designed for M3 Imbus screws and nuts. One M3 screw is needed to hold a plastic round piece on an aluminum rod. * Two large buttons from an arcade kit * One small button (from AliExpress "Mini Switch 12mm 1A waterproof switch PBS33B 12v momentary Push button") * Cables with connectors from the kit * A USB cable from the kit * An 8mm aluminum tube * 12x20mm D=0.5mm spring under the fire button (if you prefer a smaller stroke, it can work without it) * A microswitch with a 4-5mm bar (I used one with a 7mm bar and cut it to size) * A D20mm silenblock * An M6 self-locking nut * Thin wires inside the rod for button 1 * The fourth button is originally connected as mode select, but if you don't need it on PC, you can connect it to autofire. Some parts need to be machined. You will need an M6 thread tool (inside the aluminum tube) and an M8 thread tool (inside the handle and outside of the aluminum tube). A drilling machine with D3 and D5.2mm drills is also required. To assemble the joystick, you need to put two wires through the aluminum tube handle and "dotyk," then solder the microswitch (start down through a hole in "dotyk"). When you complete the handle, remember to insert it through the upper case and then mount the handle and solder the microswitch. All four microswitches are held in place with classic screws. Remember to solder wires to microswitches at 90° before mounting them.
