| Where can I get a Konami balltop? |

I played with them tonight and really liked the feel and I noticed that most Konami games used them back in the day |

Konami didn't make joysticks as far as I know. You MIGHT be talking about a Monroe joystick, which is the one on Time Pilot and Gyruss. You might also be talking about a Wico joystick, which was the one that came with most Konami conversion kits. |

yeah could have been wico but I don't know for sure, I really loved it though it was on x-men, ninja turtles and the simpsons. It was a fat ball top (fatter than Mspacman/galaga one) and came in multiple colors. I know they don't make them anymore so where could I get them |
| paigeoliver:
Thats a wico stick. They are on ebay ALL THE TIME. Often on control panels. I have a few spare ones, but I hoard them, so you'll have to find another source. Bob Roberts sells a nice microswitch based knock off one that uses the same handles, if you order those be sure and order a pair of "heavy springs for happ joysticks" and swap those in to get the correct feel. EDIT. I don't see them listed on Bob's website anymore, he must be out of them. |

hmm guess i'd have to wait til i see one pop up i really want a nice blue one (new? used? I donno) so I can make a nice 6 button joystick for my computer |
