ugh, Google translate makes Kowal's explanations nearly uncomprehensible... "Top of the edge", "top of the largest diameter", shouldn't he measure each joystick shaft at a fixed height though? Hmm... |

That wouldn't be accurate to how it feels. It has to be measured at the center of the gripping area to provide useful data, meaning how far you have to actually move your hand. |

He might've measured a trigger stick picking the utmost top ridge of plastic as reference point whereas my hand might be wrapped around its bottom with the thumb sticking up to operate the button on top, wouldn't that throw off his measurements? |

He's assuming most people would have to center their hand/fingers around the center of a ball top or the widest point of a bat top. If you really need 100% accuracy to your play style you'd have to take your own measurements. I have no idea how he measures trigger sticks. |

a cheap way (is there any other? :) ) put a tight rubber washer/grommet around where your "stick" activates the switches, of the size that "feels" right for what you want, the movement would be the same but would make the distance to activation shorter, without having to change anything, once you have it set right dot glue it in place (easily scraped off the metal shaft later if needed). |
