The most advanced arcade joystick ever
made.
The UltraStik Is based
around a true analog "engine" using advanced sensing technology which uses no
contacts nor switches.
It can be used in many modes, ranging from simply
replacing a micro-switch stick to a full analog flight stick with user-defined
analog/digital mapping.
It has a built-in 8-button interface. Plugs direct
into USB.

Features:
- True analog "engine". Full-motion "flight-stick" type control for
todays games for which a switch-type stick is simply not enough.
- On-board high-speed USB 2.0 interface. No need for any special
interface board.
- State-of-the-art sensing technology. No pots or other electrical
contacts to wear out
- User-definable IDs allow 4 joysticks to be plugged into a PC and
individually controlled.
- On-board interface which can optionally be used in two auto-detecting
modes:
- Input mode: Allows connection of up to 8 buttons per
joystick.
- Output mode: Allows joystick to be connected to an interface
such as the I-PAC, to replace a standard switch-type joystick.
- Sends analog data via USB to the PC either alongside the above modes,
or when the auxiliary interface is not used.
- User-definable mappings. 9 X 9-cell matrix ovelayed onto the analog
motion allows 4-way, 8-way or any other maps to be created and stored
semi-permanently in flash ROM.
- Each cell can be set to any of 8 directions, centered, analog, or
"sticky".
- Any number of maps can be created so you could have special mappings
for different games if you wish.
- No need for any other stick as the UltraStik can operate in ANY mode,
4-way, 8-way, 2-way, 45 degree mode or any special mode you wish to define.
- Maps downloaded instantly to joystick via USB and this can be done in
the background when starting a game.
- User-upgradeable firmware, downloadable via the web, for future
updates.
- Advanced configuration program allows creation and storage of maps,
assignment of ID, and has a test facility.
- Standard mounting hole pattern. Available with ball or bat-top
handles
- Polished chromium plated shafts.
- Fast on-board 24 Mhz processor performs automatic calibration,
linearization and all other functions.
- 14 bit analog-to-digital conversion for maximum resolution.
- Customize your stick! Two different mechanical restrictor plates can
optionally be fitted, for mechanically-limited 4, 8 or "reduced travel" analog
operation, for those who prefer a hardware-limited stick.
- Optional longer handles available
- Optional extra-stiff spring available
