[petrus bitbyter]

So I'm looking for a joystick meant to be used by disabled persons who has
hardly any power left in their fingers. I googled of course and found
numerous sticks but no joy Anyone has a link or an idea?

Young ones. They have Duchennes disease and seldom grow older the 35 years.
Of course they also like to play other games but simple flight simulators
are fun. However, the ordinary joy sticks become too heavy and too strong.

Here

some are playing different
games. We need - among other things - joysticks for the game controller
adapters.

Can't suggest any specifically, but I'd think that the type of
joysticks which are used for the control of motorized wheelchairs
would include some of the very-low-force variety.

Perhaps. But they would certainly need custom embedded code
and hardware to interface to standard gaming machines and
software, I think. That may be true, regardless, though.

Optics to sense hand movement?

Cross the shafts of two potentiometers and tie them together (I used
paperclip wire)

Mount one pot so that the shaft is horisontal mount a handle to the
other. I used 1M pots and this worked well connected to a PC
joystick socket
