Zippyy 8/4/2-way Joysticks
froggerman:
I think there are 4 colours available for the tops. They are all sort of 'pastel'.
I guess I hadn't really noticed the noise too much. I find all of the microswitches noisey. I can't comment on the buttons as I don't have any of them.
Knievel:
Any idea where you can find the other colored tops?
A light blue would work nicely for me, this pink ain't cutting it :P
As for the tops I like the way they screw on. You could mount almost anything on the stick if you had one of those friction nuts shoved into it.
There's a big difference between these micro's and the ones in my Happ's buttons. I tried them side by side and these ones are at least twice as loud and require a lot of force to push down. They'd be ok for srart/credit buttons though.
When they're used in the joystick they're fine though...about the same at my Happs competion.
froggerman:
The only place I have seen the different colours is a www.coinopexpress.com
I do find the red to be lighter than it should be but it is a long way from pink. The colour in the picture is pretty accurate for mine at least.
Knievel:
Pink might've been a stretch, can we agree on Fushia ;D
Hmm..guess you're looking at the Sanwa stick? Different stick but the tops might work.
From what I've read about that place you'd need to order a boatload of them though.
The $2 special looks like the other type our seller was offering. I've seen that one on a few cabs and it looks nice...definately red anyway.
I might grab a couple of those from him and check them out too.

From looking around, it should be possible to dye them. I think you'd rather try a $3 box of dye and some time instead of buying a new ball top ;D
Look around for "dye" and plastics, and I'm sure you'll find the thread(s) about it. Also, I know I googled it at one time and found several threads regarding it, also.
I'm no expert at it, but from what I remember, you may wish to go with a maroon rather than red, but give whatever color you want a whirl. Remember, I am not an expert on this, just saw you asking if it was possible to dye, and I think/bet it is possible.
