Wow, thanks a lot!
I'll do the last option, but instead of a DPDT per port, I'll use the 4PDT I already have to switch all 4 pots on/off at once. One less hole to drill in the case I just spraypainted.

If i wanted to make this circuit easy to turn on and off while being internally build (so i can also use other joysticks)
Which connections should I disconnect? all four?

OK. A simple SPST switch to break either line 7 or 8 should do the job then.
Is it really that easy? Why does this site use such a complicated switch then?:
That's 4PDT right? And their schematic also doesn't account for the other 2 pots, if you're using 2 per port (4 total).
I installed 4 internal pots in my C64C a few years ago and miraculously they seem to work smoothly although they don't use the full rotation (haven't tried InactiveX's new method). However, I did something wrong when I added the switch that supposedly disables them! Now my mouse won't work. The pots still do when I have the switch set to turn them on. The way I currently have it wired, my switch redirects 5v and GND on all 4 pots, as well as X and Y on Port 2. So why is my mouse buggy?
I spent today trying to figure out the mess of wires I soldered a few years ago. Would be great if someone could answer my questions above. Thanks!

I like the way you phrased this metaphor.

Was just thinking there should be more C64 musicdisks this morning. I shall also have to check this out, once I finish mounting my uIEC/SD internally.

Re: advice about tables? (14 replies, posted in LittleGPTracker)
Tables are pretty simple imho, you're overthinking it. Is there an Ikea in your town? Theirs are easy to figure out. If the table is rectangular, I usually just put one leg in each corner like 4 to the floor, runs smoothly/stable. Desks are similar. But a good beginner's table can be circular with one leg. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need any advice on bookshelves.

Re: WTB: C64 keyboard (22 replies, posted in Trading Post)
Ah I PM'd you. I wouldn't feel good trading my keyboard as anything but "dead". Yeah, there are other problems with it. Electrical though, not mechanical. I mean the physical buttons go up and down fine. 
They don't stick or anything, if that's what you were worried about. I thought you just wanted the individual keys themselves, to make a checkerboard pattern on one of yours?
Mine only looks smaller cause I cut it down to make room for some mods. Which is how I first damaged it. /facepalm
