Well its been a zooming 36 days since I actually touched my joysticks again.
Complete Joystick Rehaul - Day 1
Before:
After: The joysticks are kinda still dirty, need to wipe off the excess glue
Okay that's a fake picture, I actually decided to install a super since I play more shooters than fighters...
Lets not forget the analog/digital button and the select (insert coin for all you MAME people) button
+ 
= 
Hmm and one little mod about the joystick you might not notice. The white joystick had standard screws that had that mound or hill which I found pretty annoying. I bought slanted flat aka machine styled screws that fitted in the hole perfectly. As for what I used as the inlay, its real carbon fiber/kevlar fabric. Your probably thinking, "Wait, carbon fiber is stuff that feels like plastic." Well thats if you "cure" (melt, bond, etc) the carbon fiber, I used uncured carbon fiber which almost feels like silk. And lets not forget its stain and abrasive resisitant, which is a big plus
I think the cherry on top is when I install these:
Like usual, I have to give thanks to the originals of t3h_p3lican_m0d:
ShaperMC, Dallas_Five, & Ron McRae for recently pming me asking about my joysticks. His PM really motivated me to get back on my project. Oh yeah, I still have to do my red one...see you in 36 more days
