with or without topfire
Granger:
I have been trying to decide what controls to put on my cp. I have pretty much decided on a slickstick co2 type layout. I just wonder how useful the topfires are. i'm thinking either one or none, but want some input.

Welcome to the forum.
It's pretty easy to decide really, how many games do you play or even know of that use a top fire joystick and how many that use 2?
You would probably get more use out of a rotary.

If you go modular, you won't have to make tough decisions like this one. ;D
Seriously though, it depends on what you plan to play with it.
For games like Battlezone, not having a topfire would be a pain.
For games like Cloak and Dagger, it helps to have the fire button right there, but is not necessary.
For most other games, I prefer non-fire button joysticks (Wicos and T-stiks notably) for their feel.
I'm not really fond of the feel on the Happs joysticks.
Granger:
battlezone and tron were the reasons I was thinking of having a topfire, but not sure if it's worth it for just 2 games (although very good games they are)

Assault is damn fun.
