THC controller interface

During the last weekend I thought a bit about the controller interface of THC. I found that using buttons for the cross would be a pretty big mechanical hassle. I found a solution to that at Alps. Here it is. This 8-Directional mini joystick seems to be pretty cool. Don't you think?

I also found a solution for the shoulder buttons in their product line. You can see it here.

I also called Alps today and asked for some samples. They redirected me to a supplier and he said that they will send me them. I will update you as soon as I have them.

(it is pretty funny how happy one can be, just because he is getting some switches ;) )
