I have a few questions about this. I am looking into someone doing it for me because I am not quite capable of this kind of thing. Is it a great improvement over the normal analogue stick? Does it handle like a PS2 analoogue stick? It doesn't require any firmware altering does it? Are there any negatives that you see to this? Thanks.

on most games the controller is absoloutly fantastic, some games have a massive deadzone, i guess this is to compensate for the analogue nub being crap, and basically uses the nub in an almost dpad kinda way. on those games its not so good, but mostly its fantastic. i hardly ever take mine off. And its a pure hardware mod.

And on the games that it isn't so good I can just remove it and use the normal analogue stick? If I am using the addon and I accidentally bump the normal nub will it affect the play at all or is the nub rendered useless when the addon is plugged in?

I should try this

you can just unplug it, the nub still functions at all times.

With the combination of a firmware mod, could this be used as a right analog stick?

yo Joesnose I willbe completing mine tomorrow. Thanks for the helper tutorial. I have almost all parts. I was going to use a small connector from one of my radio shack micro monster trucks. (headlight assembly) as it is small and requires no cutting of the dpad at all. I will let you know this week how it turns out. I am also going to get a bracket machined. If there was any way you could send me the specifications or a drawing of it would be great. btw you know me as SooperGooman

[joesnose]

supergooman, my bracket is nothing special, thats why i called it ghetto, just aslong as it braces the stick against the psp body.
And about your plug i dont nknow what its like but the great thing about the usb one is it kinda clips into place , holdin the stick in, i found this has been helpful.

Joesnose, any possibility in using this as a right analog stick and putting it on the right side?
