What a fantastic little build

That's probably a Crown joystick, based on that funky black "bezel" on the shaft.

Now, that's a cute build!

Is there any angle where the joystick or the top lip doesn't block part of the screen?

I was thinking that myself, tbh. I'd would have used a balltop myself.

No build thread? Fail! (edit: n/m, didn't see the link)

BTW, I like it. How big is it?

Top doesn't block at all but stick does in some angles.. Its a design flaw.. Well its my first build anyway!
