I only really know joysticks. I owned some arcade cabinets and rebuilt optical analog and complete digital ones enough times to know them like the back of my hand easier than anything else.
a strain gauge consists of 4 metal strips per axis that are glued onto a piece of plastic or metal that serves as your joystick, nothing that can get out of alignment, nothing that can break
