[sdiy] Joystick hunting

[Kevin Lightner]

These tiny goodies below have been out for years and I'm surprised no 
one has used them for anything (that I've seen anyways :)
One style even has a switch on the shaft that actuates when pressed down.
One warning though for perfboard builders: the pin spacing isn't 
standard. I have one - trust me ;-)
