this thread is what i wish my electronics engineering classes had been like.

I wish I knew how to solder, but I know if I learned the skill I would just end up with a pile of unused soldering tools and an even larger pile of stuff that I could build/should fix when I get around to setting up the soldering station.

This is a fascinating look into joysticks.

I really like the ribbon cable design for the low-profile thumbsticks but I'm sure a large part of that is my aforementioned inability to solder. It almost feels designed to fail considering how fast the actual stick replacement is once you get the controller disassembled.

sawdust + wood glue = "gapless" joinery :eng101: That or you cut things oversize such that they don't technically fit but if you wail on a sacrificial block with a mallet long enough they'll go together (aka a "press fit").

The joints you have look good, though!
