.. on my 'new GP2X' (still got a spare) .. so I guess I either send it back for repair, or try to source a new joystick solution myself ..

Anyone got any new ideas on the 'replacement joystick' front? worth opening up and putting something else in there?
 
I will be getting a kit from Radek to see if I can help him by machining a spacer to make mounting d-pad easier.

If you don't want to wait the standard stick is an off of the shelf Alps part you can get from many places like RS electronics, Allied.

8 way PCB joystick w/centre pushbutton:

RS Stock no. 249-3381
 
Please keep us informed, an easy to install d-pad mod for the 2x would be a great acheivement for the scene. Have you seen the recently release button mod for the DS that allows the x and y button to be used during gba gameplay mode?

Thanks DaveC, I've ordered a few (10) so that I can afford to bust my stick again in the future .. For today tho', I guess I'll be content with a couple Powermates for my latest GP2X hacking, on the 'stick-dead' GP2X ..

.. and I guess it'll be interesting, also, to see what you get up to with the D-Pad business ..

Maybe we will make one in silver too..

I DID like your latest silver stick though. I knocked the first one as I thought it was too high but your latest looked perfect (to me) , lower like I thought it would work best.

hey, its been through a lot of evolution, as good products do. i've well and truly tested the hell out of the pimpknob proto's! :)

These stick threads are getting ridiculous. There needs to be one comprehensive area where everyone can see all the options they have for modding the control scheme on the 2x.
