[sdiy] looking for a joystick

[sleepy_dog at gmx.de]

Maybe that is too involved / fumbly if you're looking for a ready 
solution (OTOH, you said small number...),
but:
Maybe some of those cheapies can be opened and the springs removed?
And if the lever is not light enough for the potentiometers to hold it 
in place, one could add friction, e.g. by making a disc out of felt or 
similar, putting a hole in it slightly less in diameter than the 
potentiometer axis, put it around the axis and glue it to the case? If 
it's that accessible...
