So, as you guys know I already swapped out the left stick in my gamepad with a new one from amazon, and it works perfectly.
But what do I do with the old one? I don't wanna just throw it away.. I kinda wanna know if there's some way to use it as an input device (without just plain soldering wires to a board) for something. Maybe I could make an IRL CQ-80 as a remote for my Fire TV, or perhaps as a smart home remote for my room? Y'know, considering how the stick clicks in. I'd just need to add a trigger button on the back and maybe a "shoulder" button on top, but that'd be it. And probably either USB-C or Micro USB for chargin'.
Sure, I have no experience with making my own hardware, but it'd be really nice.
It'd also be nice to test if the stick still drifts or not without opening my gamepad again.
