Ya reading up more on pot and I don't think it will work with it, however now i want to try and remove it all together and replace it with a razor x that's mounted on the controller case
update:
ok I have decided to ditch both analog sticks for psp nubs, the left stick should connect easy and im going to get a razor x board for the right one and mount both on the dualshock face plate, it should end up looking something like this
Update: parts are all here, I should have it done soon if i can do it at all!
