hard to find parts

Post by fatboyelroy »

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.

have you tried measuring the resistance with a multimeter?
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!
