I haven't taken it apart to look. I think it is still under warranty, so I am trying to resist the temptation to do that.

My joystick worked one day, and the next it didn't. The lights underneath the hat switches are on. The joystick shows up under my USB Controllers in Windows and the status says OK. However, I get no response from any movement or button presses. I have tried it on 3 different computers with the same results. I am planning on uploading the stl to thingiverse once I get it working. If I do get it working, I will also make one with the joystick rotated about 20 degrees for a center stick. I am also going to add 4 mounting holes for anyone that wants to go to a 4 spring setup. The tricky part will be the electrical connections. Currently, I have holes that run the length of the extension that line up with the contacts on the X55. They accomadate 12 guage solid copper wire. (I had some spare romex, so I decided to give that a try first.) I am very much not an electronics guy, so if anyone has any suggestions for the electrical contacts, I would love to hear them.

I decided to give a stick extension a go for my x55. I went the 3D printer route. I got the basic design down, and printed what I hope is the first prototype. I got it wired up, and ready to test. Sadly, my X55 joystick decided to die before I could test it. Hopefully, I will get a replacement soon so that I can test it out. Here is what I have so far (yellow is the only color of filament I have at the moment): https://www.flickr.com/photos/141778131@N07/26333534366/in/dateposted-public/
