: If I have to use the Joystick circuit board, do you know of a source of cheap USB joysticks which will work well for this purpose?

I have a MS Dual Strike usb joystick. Someone else has posted not too long ago about hacking one. It uses pots for the x- & y-axis.
I opened mine up and took a couple of pictures. Sorry for the quality of the pictures. I had to artificially brighten them up so you can see some of the components.
I'm not sure how much they cost because mine came free with the purchase of a Sidewinder at CompUSA. Seeing as they were giving them away, I wouldn't think they are too expensive.
