They're standard M3 thread which maybe helps a little..<br>
I used quite a few RKJXC1210s (sourcing them was hard even 5 years
ago) and initially used standoffs fitted with drilled wooden balls.<br>
Then got some metal paddles done - very simple Solidworks design
(must have been 'cos I'm crap with it!) with integrated M3 thread.<br>
Unfortunately I'm pretty sure I don't have any spare now.<br>
<br>
By the way, despite having already said that I haven't yet really
checked the TBM joysticks I linked earlier, they instantly seem a
lot better than the old Alps.<br>
For one, with the Alps you had to remove the springs and re-assemble
in quite a particular way to get the tension to remain firm - and
they suffered a bit from wobble/backlash.<br>
The TBM ones feel much nicer.<br>

<div>I have these too, used one on my own Joystick module design,
works great! For a baton I stuck a small radio antenna on there,
which is great. As it extends and gives me this far away fine
control, like on this video <a moz-do-not-send="true"

I've also successfully used knobs made for drawers or cabinets,
