PS2 thumbstick covers
TOOLS USED:
3D printer (Ender 3)
Soldering Iron (Magnum)
Enamel Paint (Gets in the cracks)
Feel free to ask questions!

    The super simple solution is to just get yourself a cheap Bluetooth controller and use it with your old phone, what I built was a little over kill. As for electronics and printing skills, there’s always time to learn, start with some smaller easier projects and you’ll get the hang of it.

    An Android phone with video over USB-C is one option. Bonus points if it has a desktop mode to fit a normal sized screen. A 2018 vintage Galaxy S8 with a dying screen and busted back glass is going to be dirt cheap; a lot cheaper and a lot more capable than an Orange Pi if you're going to make an Android gaming handheld.
