[sdiy] Tiny Joystick

[Tom Arnold]

I've been toying with joystick controllers lately and then I ran across this
wee beastie while reading the Digikey catalog.  ( I'll let you guess what
particular seat I keep mighty tombs such as the Mouser and Digikey catalog
next to ).

Its VERY small and pcb mount.  Might be quite nifty for something?

On another train of thought, does anyone else remember when Digikey and
Mouser were small catalogs, not the Manhatten yellow pages they are today.
My god, I hadnt gotten a paper one in a while, I had to get a forklift to
move it so I could open the front door where I'm certain a USPS C5A had
airlifted it at great expense.
