I'm still investigating the idea of a multiple joystick/trigger
button/ribbon controller performance box, I envision a slope top box maybe
about 1/2 the width of a midi keyboard controller. What would be a good
quality panel mount joystick to use in this application? I've done a few
searches, but haven't really found what I'm looking for yet.
