Modder transforms a typewriter into a modern day arcade joystick

We all craved to play those good old arcade games, even today we wouldn’t mind the era – it had its own little charm. Now, when typewriters and arcades have seen a way out, a modification to unite the two for our gaming desires should surely deserve a mention. Case in point this functional arcade joystick modded out off an old typewriter by SRK member NeoBlood. There’ll be many out there who’d question the applications of the contraption, but for us the make in itself is pretty satisfying, we wouldn’t mind laying our hands on it. NeoBlood’s stuck switches off arcade-style push buttons onto the typewriter keys and has custom-fitted an authentic Sanwa joystick to complete it. More images and video after the jump.
