How to Make a 360 Controller Joystick

The Xbox 360, like the vast majority of modern video game controllers, uses a pair of short thumbsticks to control your on-screen character. The problem with such controllers is that precise aiming is sacrificed, as compared to using a computer's mouse and keyboard. A solution offered by a variety of manufacturers is to make joysticks from their short thumbsticks, extending them for easier throw.
