building a joystick

Im new here and just was wondering how much money does it take to build a custom joystick with quality japanese parts?

 

Read Catch22 post its pretty good and has all the information u need.

 

I found a de-assembeled joystick on sale somewhere for 40$ AUS? Fairly good quality as I recall it was Logitech? It was taken apart for school or something and he was selling it new.
