A forum member posted about it helping me out on a similar question some time ago, can´t find the original post.

ahem-how about power switch?
is this availible in parts at all? Oo

erico? Is that exactly what the CAANOO uses? Is there any alternatives that could give me better performance? Like, more resistance, and unlikely to wobble after a day of light use? The fact that it break at all concerns me quite a bit, since I adore this kit, and I want it to last.

Thinking about it, is it possible to list all the parts GPH used used to make the CAANOO that we can buy? This has become my favorite handheld. And I own a ever Nintendo handheld, and have owned a PSP.

erico, you put the replacement is 100k ohms, but I read that the Caanoo is 10k ohms, and the angle of rotation is 60%, and you recommended is 50%
You do you really worked well?
Do you feel as the original?
my analog has broken, it shall replace with this piece, but the shipping to Mexico is 30 USD, I do not want wrong

On this page are the options available (with switch and assembly with hole), respectively, but only offered the 20% tolerance and 50% angle.

I´m sorry guys, maybe this one is not exact?

I didn´t have to use one myself, my original inquire was about the subject of a "possible break",
One user (I´m sorry I can´t remember the name), recommended this replacement.

I had the impression control would not last long, and was searching for a replacement ahead of time, but it is lasting, I´m impressed.

So I really can´t say much, I´m also not skilled in electronics so I´m sorry if it sounded like a "solution", I should have rephrased as a "possible solution".

And I agree, having a list of some of the parts would be nice, would feel safe

I found it!:

http://search.digikey.com/us/en/products/254TA103B50B/254TA103B50B-ND/1755918

this is the section of the correct replacement

features:
Model: 254TA103B50B
Series: 254
Resistance (Ohms): 10K
Power (Watts): 0.01W
Tolerance: ± 20%
Adjustment Type: Top Adjustment
Rotation Angle: 50 °
Mounting Type: Through Hole

Ah nice. The only difference is the resistance. And, if I knew ANYTHING about electronic, I woud know why that matters.

Thanks fenixero!
