Helps when you mention which joystick you're using.  ::)

There are other ways, but they are less commonly used.

Slagcoin shows a layering method here that you could achieve without a router.

undermounted in a recessed area to raise the height of the stick, bolted in from bottom into flush mounted T-nuts


spend $40, get a cheap router and bits from harbor freight.. they are not great for big jobs, but more than enough for recessing joyticks and routing tmolding slots.

I undermounted my joysticks and regretted it. But the other day I put some washers on the joystick shaft to eat up some of the real estate of the threads, and that $0.10 idea really saved me from cutting a new panel.
