The real challenge will be making the transition to the organic geometry of the controller case. We'll explore a different approach with each of the two joysticks. Let's zoom in to the left joystick, a couple ideas here I want you to keep in mind is all the curves do not need to be joined to do a revolve at the same time. Also, we're utilizing the technique of making things bigger so there's always an obvious overlap or intersection. That's definitely the case here, so let's select all of these. I'll zoom out so I can hit that top of the axis. This will be a surface revolve, add a snap there and just pick another point down below.
