Cheap And (blue) Tacky Joystick Fix

[(naw)mcx]

Just shove some blue tack over the joystick and your thumb wont slip off. Simple as that

 

[Ferentix]

I'm considering superglue to provide nearly 100% friction. Would this be advisable?

 

[(naw)mcx]

um..... yeah if you wanna be glued to a handheld

 

[nickspoon]

Who wouldn't want to be? "Stop playing with that thing" "I can't, it's stuck to my hand"

 

[(naw)mcx]

yeah
/mum "time to go to school"
/me " i cant"
/mum "why"
/me "i have a gp2x stuck to my thumb"


But Back on topic, does it work for any of yous?

Silly, the joystick can simply be pulled off!

the you have a joystick stuck to your hand

Easiest. Mod. Ever. And quite useful as well, provides friction, a soft surface,a nd slight elavation from those sharp stick edges.

 

[(naw)mcx]

so you like it then

Definitely, and I suggested it a few days ago as well, just didnt get around to trying it until now (ran out of blue tack) .

My Suggestion (its the same)

Might try this... I was a little put off by the lack of grip on such a small stick. I may also rip apart a DC controller and use the stick off one of those. Not sure yet.

 

[Paradox]

cant believe i didnt think of this yet..sure i have some tac around here somewhere...

How about just drilling a hole in your thumb and then sticking the GP32 directly onto your thumb. Once the blood dries there should be no deadzone and excellent diagonals!

Images. Immediately.

 

[Paradox]

just tried it on a shooter,

its very good cause your thumb is stuck to the stick. but after a while the bluetack gets warm and starts shifting around

 

[dragonista]

what i did was just pull out the stick a little, works awsome for me

I shoved a very small piece of paper inside the joystick cap, so the metal rod dosn't get in all the way.

 

[Paradox]

what does that accomplish? other than meaning you have to throw the stick further to hit the direction?

Instead of making a new tread i'm posting mine mod here.

It's works really great.
and if you want to know it is a bit shrink-when-you-heat-it-rubber tube thingy (used for isolation in electronics)
