Joystick junction?

Is there a device on the market that I could plug my joystick/gamepad/steering wheel into, then just turn the dial to which one i wanted to use? I have seen some simple a b boxes but heard that it could damge them. Thanks. Sondog

The Quickshot J-Link Turbo (model #QS-5845) Cost me AUS$50, which is about US$30 Connects up to 4 joysticks at once, then simply flick the switch to select which one you want. Also has turbo fire for each port. I have my joystick, gamepad and wheel all connected, all I have to do is flick the switch and then calibrate in Win98. -- Nathan Wong http://www.nectar.com.au/~alfacors - Super Touring - Alfa Romeo - - V8Supercars - CART -

Thanks for the information guys. The unplugging and plugging back up was starting to get to me. Sondog

I have the CH Products joyswitch box. It works great except for one thing...It does NOT work with programmable or digital joysticks, only the older analog ones. My Thrustmaster T2 wheel and my gamepad work fine with it. My Thrustmaster programmable F-22 joystick does not. Also...the Joyswitch literature states it will not work with programmable sticks. Buyer beware

In that case check out www.joyswitch.com. I have one and it works great with my F22-Pro/TQS/RCS & Formula T2. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com >I have the CH Products joyswitch box.

If your fairly handy with a soldering iron and know which pin does what, you could make one yourself. This method probably wont damage anything (dont hold me responsible if you try it and it does though). All you need is 3 female 15 pin connectors and one male. Then its just a matter of devising a switch that will only contact one controller at a time. I wont know how well it works till i try it though.
