      No, I haven't. Although it would be cool to change the restrictor automatically, the magnets of the Mag-Stik trumped that for me. Also, the more complex tech in the Servostik increases the chances of hardware failure. Finally, I don't know if there's a Linux driver for it, but that's only the last straw besides the other reasons.

          @Dipkid Since it's said to work β€žwith both the Switch and PCβ€œ [sic!] I don't see why not. If it registers as a normal USB HID with standard axes and buttons, the Pi and Retropie should recognize it just like any other controller.

            @Clyde i would assume its pretty much a switch pro controller in a fancy casing, and I believe those work out of the box on Retropie.

              @Dipkid @Clyde I am not entirely sure here. The pedals are most likely analogue-buttons, but the switch controller don't have analogue shoulder buttons or any other. That was always a problem for Switch racing games. So, maybe it is not just the same gamepad driver.

                @thelostsoul Oh, didnt think of that. Just have to wait and see I guess.
                Ill pick one up if the price isnt outrageous when it hits Europe.

                *Edit, saw the price now, 60 Pounds. Thats less than the pro controller where Im at atleast.

                  @Dipkid Why not use one of the myriads of USB wheels? Is it the Mario design or what makes this wheel so appealing to you?

                    @Clyde haha, I just like video-gamey stuff. That it looks like a mcdonalds toy is a big plus. Also It matches my 2001 Coca Cola LG tv..

                      The pedals could be mapped to the two axes of the second analog stick. But being that it's designed for Mario Kart, analog pedals would be unnecessary.

                        @Thorr69 Either Nintendo goes the lazy way or they have addressed the issue with missing analog buttons for racing games. And I don't believe that this is just made for Mario Kart, but possible. I was just bringing this idea up, because this could solve the problem for other racing games. If that is the case, then my guess is that a new gamepad could come out too. Off course just WILD WILD speculation on my side.

                          @lukabrazi the servo stik is the sanwa JLW just has the side car servo included. I bought just the servo by itself to install on a JLW. I was able to get the servo working in both windows and linux (from katie snow) as well as just using a switch on the top of the CP (this requires flashing the servo though and it will never work with software after that!).
