Playstation dpad in a Joycon

This is dope! Nice work.

If you want to replicate this you'll need the dpad from a counterfeit ps2 or ps3 controller Here's an AliExpress listing that matches the dpad I used.

The peg in the middle is the crucial bit, Genuine Sony dpads don't have this (they use a separate mechanism). Preserving part of this peg is critical so you can't press all the directional buttons simultaneously.

I also made a video demonstrating the modification.

Using super glue and baking soda seems like a perfectly reasonable way to create a nub on a genuine PlayStation dpad.

I mean, this

fixes a cog at 1:11.
maybe make a imprint of the peg depth--it could actually help a few ppl and seeing as you have a working design, everyone can estimate the results.
I've actually been thinking about using multiple colors + clear in a 3-D print, layered.
