Meinen alten #Saitek Cybord 3D gefunden. Sogar mit passendem Netzteil. Wird sogar unter #Ubuntu erkannt und jstest kann ihn auch kalibrieren.

Mal ehrlich: Kann man damit noch was anfangen? #Joysticks mit #ForceFeedback scheinen kein Ding mehr zu sein.

@retroist He may be a Vidiot but he's not King Vidiot! #Joysticks

Dieses #Keyboard habe ich vor 15 Jahren neu für 1€ gekauft, als die IT meines AG ihr Lager geräumt hat 🤗
Kläppert schön, gut definierter Anschlag, ideal fürs #Gamen🤙
Nur bin ich kein PC Gamer, die Jahre 1994 (#Commodore pleite) bis 1997 (#PS1 gekauft) waren sehr hart für mich mit meinem #486Pc😉
Es lebe der 🕹 und 🎮 sind Ok, seitdem sie zwei (analoge) #Joysticks haben😊

Día caótico, día de mudanza, decenas de cajas apiladas, muebles embalados, pero así y todo me hice un rato de tiempo para acercarme hasta el correo y retirar estos increíbles joysticks!! Apenas los pueda probar subo más fotos. 😎🕹️

Konix Speedking
🗓️ 1985
➡️ Atari DE-9 compatibles, Master System, NES, + more

The Speedking was designed to be held in the left hand, and controlled with the right.

The company performed a waggle test which moved the stick at 450 waggles a minute (the amount that would qualify for the first round in the 100 metres in Daley Thompson's Decathlon!)

It eventually ran for 652 hours, racking up 17604000 waggles.

From the planet of “What in hell is that?” comes the Datex Quick Gun Joy Ball.
It’s a very strange thing.
Grab your ball because it’s fully microswitched and self centring!
There are 6 fire buttons but really only 2. One is normal, the other is a slow auto fire. 3 of each type. They use metal blisters rather than microswitches and they’re a bit rubbish.
I have no idea what to make of it. Weird.
