where can these be found with 5k values? this one is 1''x1" and 20 bucks. a bit large and expensive for my plans. im looking for something similar to the ones found in controllers.

you could buy a cheap dualshock controller and rip the 2 out of it. Not sure if it's 5k or not though.

could you swap in your own pots?

already tried it. no luck though. the markings on those pots have the numbers 103 and 453 on both. im not sure what they mean.

have you tried measuring the resistance with a multimeter?
