Sometimes the joystick falls off while typing, in particular the thumb stick since there is less downward force and more tilting. They are not glued currently and there is only a small 2mm^2 surface area to fit the stick on to and hope it stays securely in place. I would also like to maintain the ability to remove the top in case is needs to be serviced.
Some options I have considered:
Glue current joystick on, but increase the hole size so the top could still be removed. This would expose more of the PCB and i might want to improve the shape later on.
Design a stem that has some sort of locking mechanism so the caps can be screwed on/off, and glue the stem on permanently.
Holding the stick on with some sort of small screw?
