A trick for adding weight to a DIY keyboard is to glue down a whole bunch of pennies inside. You probably need more weight in a fight stick. Just need to add something heavy inside. Wood might not add as much weight as you want.

I’ve used adhesive steel wheel-balancing weights on a couple of my modded keyboards. They’re cheap, low-profile, and have to be lead-free. If you have room on your bottom plate, just slap a bunch on there. You can put down masking tape first if you want to avoid damaging the plate if you decide to remove them.

I’ll probably be following this suggestion I’d love to use a higher tension grommet in my lever but the controller would have to be a lot heavier for it not to be problematic.
