The joystick is not related to the EX800 at all.
I am only talking about the Poly-800. I get regular emails from Poly-800 owners looking for replacement joysticks. The only thing I could do was point them at ebay.
Now, I have designed a board that takes a PS2 joystick. Now, I am going to see how good it is without replacing the knob. If it is really bad with the little PS2 knob then I'll replace it with a longer shaft so that it's more like the original.
Nothing to do with the EX800. If you want CC control of your EX800 then the HAWK kit is the way to go.

Seems the question is if they're the same. No they're not but they're very similar.
Coincidentally, I just worked up a new PCB for the joystick assembly that uses a PS2 joystick assembly.

I am going to get a few boards made to to make sure it works. I figured I would offer the new joystick board as a replacement for the old type since I get quite a few people asking for replacement joysticks. Probably because they get smashed from time to time and can't be repaired.
