Looks even easier, according to the image in the second step you just wire the buttons to arduino pins, maybe you can save the usb gamepad..
Yesterday I used it in real work and I really love this thing, adjusting axis to zero and start working is way faster than before.

I like tapping wax sticks. The swarf bunches up and you can either brush it away or blow it away with compressed air if you have it.

They may call them something else there. They are also called lubricant sticks here.
They are 1/2" round by 4.5" long. Just touch the cutter with it every once in a while. I keep a chip brush handy as well.

I think that is "molly grease" judging from the name. Since it's white in the photo I'd guess its a close cousin to lithium grease. It's not what I am talking about but it might work. It's not meant for this application though.
