I hope I will not miss too much thing :S
This FPC connector should be compatible with the Joycon stick, I think Vita too
For the wires, Magnet wire is a bit tricky to solder and fragile, the best option I see on Adafruit website could be 30AWG wire.
You can solder theses wires end on theses holes. but Flavor may need to correct me on this, do you plan use the Boxy Pixel L2R2 Add-On Board?
But making a hole on the shell is not the only thing you will need to make, to keep the price as low as possible, Boxy Pixel guys remove as less material as possible.
This introduce a big problem, it is easy to cut and adjust a plastic shell, on the Boxy Pixel you will have to play with a dremel.
The best I can recommend you is to buy 2 analog sticks, one that you will keep for the final build, the second one you will have to use to test the fitting (on this one, you will have to remove/cut the stick).
If you do it right, the analog stick shouldn't be able to move, what I did on my build was to put a piece of kapton tape on the back and a tiny piece of foam.
If you are really to make this project, patience is key, don't try to rush.
If you make little mistakes on the inside on the shell, don't worry, nobody will see it
Masking tape is really helpful to avoid scratching the exterior of the shell
Once fully finished, clean the whole shell (interior/exterior) as best as possible to avoid any shorts.
