There is a hole in the back panel where you just slide the USB cable up in and then it will be closed when the bottom is mounted. Before sliding it up, you have to make a knot on it and place that on the inside.
Very simple, but works really well and looks good. I will try to take a picture of it.

but I see 1 problem. those screws. if you loose a rubber foot that screw might scratch a surface. See if you can get a rubber foot that would allow a screw thru the middle of it and secure both the foot and the bottom plate. I just know from experience that the self adhesive feet come off after awhile.
other than that little problem...great job!!!!

You're right, but you can place the bottom panel as deep as you like, so the screw heads actually don't touch the surface. It all depends on how the installations depth is on your joystick.
But a good idea with the rubber feet.

Vector laser engraving. Most places they laser cut, they also engrave. Looks sweet though :)

That looks awesome! Regarding the screws I probably would have them set down in a hole and then have the self adhesive feet go over the hole. Then you don't see any screws at all.
