XBOX 360 analog controller hack... could use some help from you all
Bender:
or is there a way to make a 100k joystick send a 10k signal, other than replacing the pots?
please excuse my ignorance, like I said I'm new to the electrical side of things

Yes. If you add resistors in parallel, they add like this:
So. Adding a 11,111 ohm (11.111k ohm) resistor in parallel will give you a 10k ohm (combined) resistor.

You may have already seen this but I'll throw it ought there anyway.

The 4th post down has the relevant portions of the PCB traced out for a wireless XB360 Controller
RyoriNoTetsujin:
Has anything more come of this thread? Perhaps in a build thread I'm not familiar with?
I'm interested in potentially building/comissioning an analog-inclusive interface for PC/PS3. (For the usual fighters, MAME etc., but also for Williams Pinball Hall of Fame, which has tilt functions and the ball launcher mapped to the PS3's analog sticks -- with no way to change it in software.)
Did anyone source the Quasimodo analog sticks or something similar? (WOW Quasimodo designs are incredibly ugly, by the way. Functional, which I appreciate, but UGH-leeee.)
Namco? HarumaN? Bender? I know you guys are up to something! ;D
RyoriNoTetsujin:
Well now that I've had some time to do a little research/shopping, I'm going to add these couple of links (if for no other reason than so I don't forget them!)
Analog thumbsticks (with 10k pots) a la PS2/PS3:

and a cheaper option (with what looks to be a nicer breakout board below it):
