Neat. is it a pc joy stick or gaming system?

Very cool. Where did you get the parts?

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback.

Tony, I got the parts from LizardLick.com. The joystick is a Sanwa JLF and the buttons are Seimitsu PS-14-KN for the top and the side buttons are PS-14-D with a clear plunger.

Zuki, This paticular stick was built for the PC and included a USB hub that the controller and a USB Memory key were attached. The memory key stores a few choice fighter style games. The controller came from GroovyGameGear.com. I also had to do a bit of configuration to the software so everything is plug and play.

Very nice!

Looks much better than the last joystick I built from scratch – it was crammed inside a cheapie Radio Shack blue project box.

You have brought the joystick to a new level!

Thanks dmann, though I think that my work is only middle of the road. There are a few builders that have taken it to an art form. The number one builder in my book is a guy that goes by the name of Byrdo. Be warned that some of the artwork on his cases is NSFW.
