Has anyone ever done this?
I'm looking at this joystick here, but I want different pot values.

Do you want larger or smaller values?
I love the smell of solder in the morning.

Larger, 250k/500k would be good, but the highest i've seen is 100k on Mammoth I think (that may be usable too, but i'd rather have a higher value).

If you could find the same pots as used in the joystick assembly, you could buy a larger value and swap out the wafers. You unbend those tabs that hold the pots together, pull out the guts, and replace.

Cool, I'll definitely try that if I'm sick of looking for one with the right specs.
Thanks!
Thanks!
