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 or new Flight Stick.
• 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 to the standard version, 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 for standard version.
