as above, I need a replacement analog stick for a horipad mini, normally this would be an easy fix. BUT
on the horipads analog stick the potentiometers are wierd,
Y to gnd is 4.7Kohms, Y to vcc is 5.2Kohms.
same with the x potentiometer
anyone know a replacement analog stick for this?, ps1/xbox ones don't work

He said the potentiometers are weird meaning it won't work with some ordinary stick.
Let's just say my portable has got loads of win!!! *hint *hint

Wire a few resistors in series?blaze3927 wrote:

Or in parallel to ring thtefull sweep down to your specs without making a dead zone (artificial limit to maximum travel).
It may also be possible to use a pencil(graphite) to mend a break in the track, depending on how the potentiometer broke...

Yep I've user a Gamecube analog stick in a Hori Minipad in several of my portables. No problem at all.

Re: I broke my horipad mini analog
bad news
for some reason ground and X are now shorted.
checked the board, checked everything twice but nope, still shorted.
otherwise the controller works fine,
this things going to the trash

Reflow all the pins that touch the x trace first, migt be a sliver of solder got blown under a pin or something similar.
