Carey85 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 So, I picked this odd duck off a joystick up at Hamvention in Dayton a few months ago from an outdoor vendor and proceeded to forget about it. Dug it out tonight and I can't help but be intrigued by it. All I know is that it is 4-way, has a large single button, has a standard DB-9 connector on it, and it appears to be very high quality. Anyone have any info on this bugger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Loguidice Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 If it has no markings on the underside, then it's almost certainly just a homebrew stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Or at least a place where a sticker with the brand and model might have fallen off? Looks like it could be called 'The Bugger'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carey85 Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 Was able to do some digging (with the aid of Zookeeper) and discovered that this joystick is/was made by a company called Tash. It's not really meant to be used as a gaming joystick at all, it seems. It's more along the lines of an input device that people with motor skill problems would use in place of a mouse, with the fire button acting as a left click button. Looks like it was available in DB-9 or USB flavor. I might do some digging around and see about donating it to the county MRDD here if they can use it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
