As annoying as it sounds to many who can't stand the many new joystick mod topics created everyday. I have but ONE more to add to the ever growing collection.

In the meantime, here is another new topic how I took the end of a plastic designer toothpick and dremeled it to fit my gp2x. Its not pretty. In fact its a funky color, but the stick I created lessens the "deadzone" by more than 2/3's and it fits my flat shaped thumb. Responsiveness and comfort it what I was going for. AND it worked.

I also created 4 more extra joysticks in other colors, orange, yellow, and green.
Here it is:
My GP2x jostick mod

Like I said its not pretty but extremely more accurate and comfortable.

Perhaps we can create a sticky post for all joystick modifications.
 
that would be a great idea, A single centralized place to post all joystick mods for easy access and DIY help stuff. I second that.! * stands up and raises arm* :eek:
 
TJF, I really like that one. I imagine with a slim stick and smaller deadzone, the directions will be a lot easier to hit as well.
 
I never get tired of seeing new mods.

I don't think a sticky would be good enough. Usually there is a bunch of discussion about the mod, so if you just want to see all of the diffenent ones, you have to sift through a lot of crap.

Perhaps a new "mods" section would be nicer. It wouldn't have to necessarily be just joystick mods but include more hardware mods or gadgets.
 
How about a Joystick mod gallery with pics? That would be cool all pics in one spot.
 
you know I thought about using a thumb tack... but it just didn't work for me. I also tried to create this "nipple" looking D-Pad. Sounded good at the time... It was almost getting me excited.... Although, like makin love to a women, Control using the nipple really didn't work that well.

I also dremeled down the metal Control stem by about 2mm or so. This also helped with the deadzone.l
