They look like standard Happ/IL sticks.  Needing to cut the corner off is going to prevent you from using most options with a balltop (pacman reunion) because they have a square housing.  A quick search came up with IL Eurosticks with ball tops, but they were from vendors I am not familiar with.

You can get shafts that allow you to switch the current joysticks to balltop: https://focusattack.com/spare-parts-tools/popular-brands/industrias-lorenzo/eurojoystick/
(Although those are IL shafts, they should work on Happ as well.)

P.S. I hate that button location and the collars that raise all the buttons.  >:D

I doubt it's a switch b/c it happens in both directions and if it was, I would expect it to stick during game play and in other wheels. I will see if I can find the culprit within hyperspin/trackball etc. Thanks
