@JohnIhreborn @drone_the_game Great! We’re still not very definite on when the next campaign will be. We’re hoping for before the end of the year, but still preparing. There’s an email list at the bottom of our website, if you want to get notified when we know exactly when the campaign will launch.

[Sublight Dynamics @SublightDyn]

With all of our early access joysticks finally shipped, we’re back to focusing on development and next campaign preparations. We’ll also have a simple new video coming tomorrow, trying out a HOSAM configuration in the very fun early access game, @drone_the_game!

[Sublight Dynamics @SublightDyn]

New YouTube video up! This time playing a HOSAM configuration in D.R.O.N.E. the Game with one of our early access units, using emulated key presses for axes. https://t.co/7iLDDasuGj

@JustusWingert We might at some point, but most of our discussions have been on our channel in the HOTAS Discord. (Which you can get to here: https://t.co/NWUpfc2FIM ) There will also be some YouTube reviews coming out in the near future.

[Sublight Dynamics @SublightDyn]

Hello all! Most of our early access units have shipped, and we’ve started preparations for the next Kickstarter campaign! Still no set date for the campaign, but we're in conversations with manufacturers to figure out what will be possible.

Testing Begins Early Access - 6DOF in one hand. SUBLIGHT DYNAMICS @SublightDyn

[Sublight Dynamics @SublightDyn]

@_B4ngB4ng @NOOBIFIER1337 @Deradevill It has 32 button inputs! 19 are from the three hat switches, and 6 are the levers at the front of the stick. (Button map is at https://t.co/CvJBiRHLqw )

[Sublight Dynamics @SublightDyn]

@NOOBIFIER1337 Yeah, should be around then!

[Sublight Dynamics @SublightDyn]

An update: We’ve had quite a few delays in production of our early access units, largely due to the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on manufacturing and shipping. We have good news, though! We’ve received all handle components for the early access units, and have begun assembly.

[Sublight Dynamics @SublightDyn]

We’ve been posting updates to our Kickstarter page, but very much should have been posting here, as well. You can read our more detailed updates here: https://t.co/pSoB4GGarW

[Sublight Dynamics @SublightDyn]

Our hats off to all of you for making this happen! Our early access crowdfunding campaign has finished, as of this morning. Thank you all! You gave 111%, and so will we.

[Sublight Dynamics @SublightDyn]

Today’s the last full day of the early access Kickstarter campaign! (ends 10am EST, Dec 5th) We’ve also just posted an updated, longer #StarCitizen, pirate swarm video to YouTube! https://t.co/cHQafDD9eK

[Sublight Dynamics @SublightDyn]

We did it, thank you everyone!!! We’re so excited to get started on joysticks. For new backers, there are still 8 days left in the campaign, and 3D STL files are now available! Backers $5 and up can message us on KS with an email address and we’ll send you the files right away.

We’ve tested the 6DOF Joystick on bomb disposal #robotics, #drones, and other applications outside just gaming. It’s an intuitive solution for many #6axis or #6dof applications. https://t.co/AQ9xI45qlx

[Sublight Dynamics @SublightDyn]

Only 11 days to go for the Kickstarter! We’re working on a new #starcitizen gameplay video in honor of #citizencon. We’ll also be getting a solid handle CAD model out to backers shortly! https://t.co/AQ9xI45qlx

[Sublight Dynamics @SublightDyn]

Kickstarter at 88%! With a spring steel suspension and precise force sensors, the 6DOF Joystick allows for intuitive control with a short travel for fast direction changes. https://t.co/AQ9xI45qlx

[Sublight Dynamics @SublightDyn]

83% funded! The 6DOF Joystick has 32 digital inputs and two analog dials, with innovative ergonomic placement to reduce reliance on thumb actions. https://t.co/AQ9xI45qlx

[Sublight Dynamics @SublightDyn]

@AbsorbUnderwear If you mean looseness, there’s no play in the mechanism, but the spring suspension will be getting stiffer. Also, because it’s force sensing, there shouldn’t ever be a disconnect between the force applied and the output, like there could be with position sensors. (And no rattle)

[Sublight Dynamics @SublightDyn]

72% funded already, getting close! The 6DOF Joystick is coming! In case you missed it, we have new lower-tier rewards available now, check them out on our #kickstarter page https://t.co/AQ9xI45qlx
