This is a small xbox gamepad compatible joystick made from a taranis x9d gimbal and 6 cherry mx switches.

If you want to adapt this to other gimbals send me the dimensions (hole size/distance) or use the provided fusion file.

You can use any keycaps you like.

The STM32 was flashed with the maple bootloader and uses the USBComposite library for arduino/stm32.

The used code is in the archive.

Parts: STM32 "Black Pill" board with stm32duino bootloader RC Gimbal (FrSky Taranis X9D here) 6x Cherry MX (compatible) switches 6x Keycaps 4x M3 screws 2x JST 2mm connectors

To make it fit tightly you may have to be careful and file down the edges and pre drill the screw holes a bit depending on your printing result.
