Interest Check: Top Fire Joysticks
armi0024:
This was a few minutes with off the shelf parts to see if things would fit. Balltops can be done in different colors and of course the button can be changed.
Nep pretty funny but to fake looking, not a fan of bolt ons
Brian, i am pretty sure there were some top fire joysticks before heatseeker.
I wasn't presenting anything to be revolutionary, just a possible item we could do, if there was interest.
I was going to order more ball tops soon, if people are interested in making color/design suggestions, I may order, but right now i am hearing, not much interest.

I asked 2 questions.....maybe you didn't see them:
1) Can this be done for an oval top? A ball top doesn't make sense ergonomically, since the thumb is required to grip a ball. It makes much more sense for an oval or bat top.
2) Is the UltraStik 360 one of the supported sticks?
If the answer is yes to both questions, I am beyond interested.....I'll buy it.
paigeoliver:
If you can make those for Wico then can you make 4" wico shafts with red balls? I am tired of using the light blue and purple ones just because those are the only long handled nos wico sticks left.
Pretty or not, some games (like Silkworm) needed top fire sticks to work right.

Dcp, u360 doesn't like wires out the bottom, but the shafts will fit. I will look into oval and bat.
Paige, those are 4" color matched wicos

Neither am I, but that doesn't mean I won't play with 'em. ;)
