Lego Joystick for the win! This was made out from one of my crazy ideas. I'm currently using myself as a human test subject... So far, the knobs on the bricks are giving me extra firm grip so that my left hand doesn't slip away... I hope I don't suffer any blister tho. LOL
Special thanks goes to Uncle G for helping me a lot on this project. =)
2nd Day Update: Still no blister~ But my wrist area is kinda red with mild sore... I guess it was the way I rest my left hand and it should take a while to get my hands conditioned to the rugged surface.
3rd Day update: Ok, my left wrist is having a tiny puny blister which is about 1 mm in diameter. I guess it would be wise to wear a wrist band or resting my palm instead of my wrist on the surface

FAQ:
Q: Does it work?
A: Yes! Just like any modded joystick. But it only works with PS3 and PC tho.
Q: Did you dropped it?
A: Yup, it broke into a couple of parts but fixing back wasn't too bad. And it still works just as good as new. =)
Q: Will it blend?
A: I'm not putting it near any blender, so the answer is NO. =P
Q: Did you use glue or screws?
A: No glue were used. Screws was used for securing the joystick and the wiring at the PCB.

@rabblerouser The only screws are use for securing the joystick and the wiring at the PCB.
