usb "tron sticks" check it out
JayTea:
I just bought this off e-bay. Its a USB stick for mac and PC. The guy usually has a few of these up for sale at any one given time. My efforts to come up with an affordable solution to a Tron joystick (both look and playability) have led me to this joystick. The RaiderPro Blue joysticks are unsightly IMO.

The reviews of this flight stick are not very positive, but the reviews usually end with "it would be a good beginner flight stick". This is fine by me since you need a trigger and maybe 2 buttons to run most MAME flight games, and of course, TRON!
Let me know what you think of this solution or if any of you have tried this stick.
This also gives me another excuse to build another CP :) , maybe a multi-level one this time!
Stingray:
At $10 that's not a bad solution. As an interesting coincidence, the seller on that auction was a local Mac store that's about 2 miles from where I work. I may stop in and see if they have more at that price.

Only concern would be that this is definitely a right handed stick- if youve got it on the right side of your CP then it's all good.. If you need the stick on the left side, then youve got problems

I have tried to locate a tron stick, but now that I think about it, it almost seems sacrlidge to part out a Tron for the stick. This way I have a clean conscience, and similar looking stick. I am thinking of shining a black light underneath it for added effects.
And at $10 + shipping it's not a bad deal. That's funny that you live near this guy, I wonder if he's making a little extra on ths shipping/handling. Curious.

It's going to be on the right, spinner on the left (TRON setup) and probably a dedicated 4 way in the middle of those when I'm finished.
