Step 3Trigger & joystick
trigger
I cut my trigger from a thick sheet of aluminum and mounted it on a piece of Plexiglas. this allows me to put a spring on the trigger so i can now have different trigger strengths. this interface will be the primary click of the taken apart mouse.
joystick
when creating the joystick it is important to keep in mind where it is going to be placed, then shape it accordingly. I used 4 roller switches for a smooth function and a piece of threaded rod with a spring and some bolts to hold it all together. the spring helps the stick center itself as do the roller switches.

with your joystick parts. If you tilt forward you go forward if you twist it it turns the screen. I actually did something similar but for a motorcycle game.
