Or buy generic USB stick in your local market, they use the same square pot's used by Saitek.

Some guy replace these pots for HALL sensor + magnets:

Thanks for trying Sokol1.

The pots are like the orange coloured pot in the first photograph of the second link. They are 10mm x 11mm x 3mm thick. I don't know the resistance value but I can measure that. I read that link (using google translator! ) and I think (!) he has given up but then perhaps suggests using round magnets, like fridge magnets, and the Hall sensor.

I don't know enough about how the Hall sensors work to replace a potentiometer or what 'type' or 'value' the sensors should be. It's a great idea so I'll have to study it.
