Joystick Sk-1
This and other cool bends can be seen on the Process R245's website. I like the joystick idea in the speaker, very retro gaming. The execution however could've been better with components that line up and things filling every hole. Good idear never to less.

i've seen lots of stuff using the atari joysticks, but what exactly are their electronic funtions? are they variable resistors, switches, both? obviously the button is a switch, but what about the joystick itself?

the joystick it self is also switches, no pots at all.

Its like having 5 momentary buttons, they bridge a gap when pushed ( Up,Down,Left,Right+the fire button), the only difference is that an Atari joystick looks cooler, and everyone knows what it is. However I always remember these being a pain in the ass to get to work cause the contacts wear out. So after a while I imagine the bends will stop working as well.

if a solid joystick with pots is what you want, you might check this one out:

too bad for me it is in the UK, haven't found one stateside yet. I vaguely remember some simple old computer joysticks that seem like they had pots. or maybe the pong paddle.
