sorry i was thinking of dataglove
Heh, no problem. I've made some improvements with this too, though, specifically smoothing out the bottom plate and using a ball bearing instead of a hex nut.
yeah, the ball bearing would help, or just even bushings. About 10 or 11 bearing in there, and she would be super smooth (at least reels with them many are).
Actually, that would probably cause it to issue too many keypresses in conflicting directions at once... Very Happy
yeah, and wouldn't be cheap, most them reels cost over $100.

Bah, I've never spent over $45 for a reel. I'm pretty cheap, though, too. 0x5
pick up one of them expensive ones, you will feel the difference.
Reels? Aren't those the things you wind movies on? ^_^
or fishing line, lots and lots of fishing line.
Wink 'Twas joke. So anyway, has anyone attempted to build one of these? For my next prototype, I may either buy one or try to make a bit of a more reliable design.
