Yeah, but why re-invent the wheel. Serious, if I wanted into the Joystick business I would review all I could find on the MSFT FF2. I would find who made them for MSFT, etc. The patent may also be nil now, because in the US they are only good for 17 years.
That is probably the most popular stick of all time, and people are still buying them and paying high prices on auction sites. A used one is worth more than they sold for new.
I've got one sitting on the shelf I take down every now and then. I wouldn't sell it for 4 times what I paid. I'm not too high on Forcefeedback, but it is a diversion every now and then.
One very important point... The first product has got to be viable, popular, with attractive price points. You build the business from there.
Very poor business to pioneer new unproven products.
