Soldering/mounting joysticks?

I have 4 t-sticks that I mounted under the panel with some beefy wood screws. With 2 young children yanking on them they have remained solid.

Not trying to hijack thread but I had this same question about Happ Supers. I tried test fitting them from underneath with extra wood but it seems WAY short ... Then since they have that extra lip and I dont have any current plans for an overlay, I thought I might just jigsaw a hole from the thinner part and top mount it using the lip.

I think that will be totally functional and secure but might end up looking ridiculous. I borrowed a router to make t-molding slots but have no idea what kind of bit I'd need or even HOW I would rout an impression and despite relentless google and thread searching can't find someone who actually spells it out for inexperienced woodworkers like myself.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Are we talking about routing the underside of the wood CP? I had no idea either till I gave it a shot. Bascially you just buy the proper bit size(you can ask at Home Depot or whatever) and set the depth adjustment on the router base to 3/8 or whatever and go to work. You may or may not need a "pilot hole" to start with depending on whether or not you have a plunge router. Ididn't, so I had to drill a hole first.

Someone may be able to explain better I'm sure but it's REALLY easy.
