I feel old when I think of all the steps we had to take to start the most basic game. Rewind tape. Hit reset on the counter. Find index of program you want and fast forward to that position. Enter load command. Play on tape. Wait. By the time it was loaded and we started recess was over.

We had an Apple II gs at home and used PET computers in school. I remember loading Artillery into the computer from a cassette.
No offense but your post is kinda half baked. It's not really clear what you are imagining this to be. Position sensing is a wide field. It really depends on the rest of the design. You could use rotary or linear encoders. I saw some diy video that used a magnetometer...
Personally if I wanted to reinvent the wheel for a space flight sim type controller is do something like mount a joystick to what would essentially be a delta robot are with series elastic actuators. Alternatively mount an interface on a Stewart platform, again using series elastic actuators. This approach would be fun but real use you would run into the gorilla arm syndrome problem.

I've used them, they have all 6DoF. No modifiers. The fancy ones have macro buttons too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqTRJ7oTKII&t=0

My boss used to use zoom but when he scheduled a zoom meeting office would put a teams link in too. When it was time for the meeting everyone would just click join in the office reminder and jump on the teams call. Every time. Eventually he gave up and started using teams.
I do have to say I like having my team on there and being able to contact or be contacted by contractors outside the company easily. Zoom had more audio issues in my experience as well. Teams often selects the wrong audio output but I just know to switch and it works whereas zoom breaks audio half the time for me.
