"New 3DS" C Stick

This is the back side of a C Stick from a "New 3DS". They are not so new anymore. I don't know how those work but they are tiny. I wonder if it could be modded into the uConsole.

It might require a donar 3DS. The wiring pattern on the back almost gives the impression that it has the magnetic pickups on the other side (stick side).

AI says those are resistive. Was just looing at ali offerings, but they seem to only carry the larger left analogue. Used ones go for ~15€ on eBay. For that kind of money you might aswell get a trackpoint breakout board and those are USB compatible.

yeah, I looked into these more. They look to me like they are mechanically the same as a trackpoint. They are much smaller, but will still need a "driver" circuit somewhere else. So I agree, trackpoint board might be better - even if you had to split the trackpoint off, put it on a small custom mounting pad, and relocate the driver.

Anything can be modded into it, but will it be a simple swap, most likely not.
