What Kind Of Cap Is This?

[bhess]

I was looking at the Wikipedia page for GP2X, and I noticed that the picture of the unit has a strange joystick cap that is flat and says GP2X on it. Anyone know anything about this?

Made by Craig and his band of goonies, Included with Vektar I believe. I bought one. It's nice.

Ah, so that is the Craig cap. I always thought it looked a bit like the MK2 cap for some reason..

that lettering sticking out seems like it would grind into your thumb after a while, I hate uncomfortable gaming, this is why i cant stand ps2 with there touch sensitive x button

 

[bhess]

The PS2's X button is not touch sensitive, it's pressure sensitive, and that feature is really only used in racing games, but I don't see how that could be uncomfortable. But the lettering on the cap mught not be that bad, it could provide a grip. I dunno, I've never used one.

 

[J201605]

well i meant to say pressure, and it hurts my thumbs a lot specifically on racing games. I press it down hard for fear that if i dont i will lose speed. I cannot play more than 1 game like this. That is why i prefer xbox's r that can be pushed in gradually.

I'd say that is not a problem of the button, but of your performance anxiety

Haha, you don't need to hit the button that hard to get it up to full speed. The touch sensitivity in the PS2 controller is super sensitive.

ive got a cap like that but its slanted (the writing is like /)

 

[kevcal]

I have one and swapped to it yesterday - the writing is slanted this way \
Don't think I like it as much as the stock mk2 stick though...
It came with the gp2x from craig.

 

[Samba Pa Ti]

yeah thats the same one i have, just confusing the angle , i prefer it to that little cap as i need to stick a bit of paper inside the little one to make it hit the Lefts and Rights properly..

Same here, I have two as one came free with the 2X and the other free with Vektar. The lettering is slanted and I kinda like this cap.

that's because the stick is rotated on mk2s

The old MK1 cap didn't look like that, it wasn't completely smooth, although it still had very little grip.

Does anybody know where you can get MK2 caps? ED's cap is falling off too much.
