Well, I guess this is another target for an Arduino and some sort of digital switching
Maybe we design a board with a PS/2 port and 2 DE9 connectors

OK I have doublechecked all the keys and they're all fine

Heh. Just to add some confusion, my numbers are back-to-front to yours. My pin 1 is your pin 10 and vice versa.
Easy enough for me to fix...
I'll check mine against your spreadsheet. I think mine should be pretty accurate as I've tested it with a "real" DPST momentary switch.

I'll be honest, that was my first thought. It makes sense as a solution, and again, PS/2 to Arduino is already thoroughly solved. Only problem is, I wasn't able to determine how to bridge the pins. It doesn't seem to have a common ground rail or power rail, so my usual friend, "transistors" are prob...

This is awesome! Thanks for your research. I can also use some of this to start work on complete replacements for the pads.

Cheers!

Well, it's going to be about $45 for the BCBs and the same for the buttons. I'm afraid this'll need to wait until June before I'll have that sort of cash on hand, folks.

Thanks for the feedback. It does sound like I'll have to aim for the full 16 way joystick, then. I suspect I'll have to 3D print something for the actual controller. My right controller is totally dead now, so I can pull it apart and see if I can work out the easiest way to build a replacement. I'm ...

Hi All, Now I'm in the closing stages of building my keyboard replacement, I was wondering if anyone had thoughts on replacement joysticks? My thoughts were to make a PCB to go inside cheap chinese repro Genesis controllers. Pull out the existing board. Drop in a new one. Done! The "unique" hardware...

Oops. Should mention - My GitHub with everything so far is here: https://github.com/cheshirenoir/CreativisionKeyBoard
I'm working on the final touches before I place an order.

Hi Tom, Adding some sort of joystick adapter is definitely on my "to do" list, but I think the "version 1" will be just a keyboard, and a small one at that. I just finished all the routing tonight, and I'm pleased to report that I managed to complete it without having to add a single via. It certain...
