Blue balls needed!
« on: November 09, 2004, 10:20:46 am »
I figured that subject line would get some attention  :)

I'm interested in a straight-across trade of some NOS Wico red ball-top joysticks for some NOS (or very lightly used) Wico blue ball-topped sticks to round out my cp design possibilities.

Anyone interested?  I have up to 6 sticks to trade if so...

This thread rules.

Good luck though, those blue joysticks are pretty rare.  I have a red and a purple on my Xmen cab, but the other 2 originals (including the blue) were replaced :(

I have a pair like the ones thenasty pictured, only in better condition.



They are currently in my MAME cab, so a straight trade isn't worth it to me.

Perhapse if you offered something in addition to the red sticks...


*cough* trackball *cough*
Ahem.  I seem to be down with a case of the trackball coughs.

I really can't say.  I haven't been able to play many games yes. (crappy computer setup)

It certainly feels more natural.  My fingers curl around the sphere better than the bat shaped stick.  I think there's a bigger playability difference in micro/leaf switches than in ball/bat handles.

Maybe I should try a micro-ball setup.
