Using between 10 and 18 6x3mm magnets, you too can make your own clicky and satisfying joystick with resistance in all 8 standard directions (using 18 magnets) or use 10 magnets for just D-pad-style resistance. Be sure to use super glue and super lube, and before final assembly, check the hold of the magnets, if they slip out at all, its going to grind. This is getting used as a base to another project but this was fun to play with so I thought I'd share the “joy!”
