Can I operate the joystick of an Xbox 360 controller with Arduino?

I would like to connect the joystick of an old Xbox 360 controller as a separate input device to an Arduino or similar microcontroller. Now I can't find a suitable data sheet or information about connections, functionality and the like. Now the question is whether someone has an idea whether and how they can be configured to use it.

I'm absolutely not familiar with it, but I find the topic interesting.

So I did a little research:

You can buy this special "Thumbstick" at a very reasonable price:

So you don't have to disassemble the gamepad. But this is also possible:

In connection with the Raspberry Pi, however, I found a "little bit":

I hope I was able to steer you in the right direction.

I found something more detailed there:
