As I'm taking a break from gaming I'm thinking about stuff to do when I go back to it.
I happened upon an old USB MS Sidewinder Pro FF2.

As I'll be using it with my left hand (I'll explain eventually), I need to rework the handle.
Is anyone out there that did that already or has any more info?

I tried googling but apparently nothing lies out there. Or within my reach.

Peace,
out.

"Easy" way is replace FFB 2 handle with one that have neutral design - suitable for left hand use, e.g. CH Flighstick, Tm T.16000M, Saitek Cyborg... All 4 buttons + HAT like FFB2.

Will be need use the PCB under the FFB2 HAT for wire HAT and switches of new handle, since this PCB had some electrical components - resistors and/or diodes.

Or do a "plastic surgery" in FFB2 handle, cutting of the thumb rest on left side and using Epoxy putty, paint... - this will be more laborious, but don't involve solder, etc.
