: I have a PSX street fighter type joystick with a plastic ball-top stick. I'm pretty sure the shafts are hollow plastic. Maybe you could find some similar cheap console sticks, like Nintendo or Genesis ones, to put on the dual shock joys.
: Would you be able to put up pictures of the inside of the dual shock controllers? I'd like to see what they'd be like for hacking purposes.
: : While hacking a 3rd party playstation dual shock controller (Nyko Scorpion), I found that the dual analog controls were on a separate board from the d-pad and buttons, and were so stiff that they could easily support the weight of a joystick shaft. I've decided to mount at least one of the analog sticks directly onto my control panel.
: : What I'm looking for are joystick shafts topped with hard plastic knobs which I can attach to the analog sticks, these would be either:
: : 1) Very thin shafted, allowing me to drill into the original plastic analog thumb pad, and then insert the joystick shaft into the drilled hole.
: : 2) Hollow shafted, allowing me to remove the analog thumb pad, placing the analog control's metal prong inside of the joystick shaft.
: : Looking for any heads up as to where I can get my hands on just shafts as opposed to complete joystick assemblies, thanks!
