Re: Joystick mods

Be very careful cracking the joysticks open. As our team found out the hard way, of the 6 joysticks we opened, EVERY SINGLE ONE had completely different colored wires inside (and run through the DB15 cable as well). So if something breaks, putting it back together is near impossible.

Never again will we touch the inside of those joysticks. They are so finicky and easily broken that we are scared to even shake the things
