Xenophobe Joystick Wiring
DaemonCollector:
Those screws are just Security Bits, also seen em called Female Torx. I know Happs sells a driver for em as well as tons of other places online. Just need to find out the bit size.

Druin, get out your calipers? :)
Actually, I am guessing they aren't lighted. I didn't want to try to send a current to them as I didn't want to blow them if they were lighted. But looking at the schematic ( which I couldn't find by Google'n ) but which Druin so kindly pointed out, has no current flowing to them.
Oh well, as long as my switch keeps working, I won't need to crack it open. But it would be nice to know.
Thanks for the info.
Druin:
I did try sending current to them although I knew there was no point - if you had to do that, how could you also read them as switches? But I was bored.
I slowly ran up from 0 to 30 volts on my power supply (that way I wouldn't blow anything because I would see activity before going too far).
Let's just say there's no lights in there.
I do have a digital caliper....
Inner post diameter: 0.05"
Farthest diagonal between star outter points: 0.17"
Closest diagonal between star inner points: 0.13"

They take a T-20 Security Torx.
That, or a Craftsman "Screw-Out" set, it they are really rusted into place.
I've only been able to get them out with the Torx bit about 1/2 the time, on the ones I've done.
