dgrissom Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 During a recent Zoom TI-99ers Meeting, I asked if anyone had ever modified the TI-Joysticks to make them work better? As far as we knew, it hadn’t been done. The "normal" process would be to design a replacement circuit board and have them made. Of course, I took a different route… ? This is a modification to replace the internal parts of the joystick with tactile switches. This has revived my old joysticks, and now I really enjoy using them! BTW, It is completely reversible in that it does not damage the existing components. With that said: Disclaimer: Do this at your own risk. This project WON’T damage your existing joysticks unless you are careless. I freely provide this project to the TI community and welcome comments and improvements. The attached zipped file has complete instructions. It does require access to a good 3-D printer and a few other materials. Some soldering skills are necessary.

oddemann Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I am thinking about just replacing the bottom part and using that "space" to mod it in the same kinda way. But re-using all top parts. So the top looks original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
