coasternuts:
Is anyone planning on buying one of these:

I was wondering of the feel of these. 
I was thinking of trying to do Oscar's 1Up hack with it

But $45 seems a little steep.

Opinions, comments,  warnings?!?

Thanks,
-coasternuts

ps.  I would really like to reproduce the Tron experience if I could.
Gunstar Hero:
$45 seems fair to me.

Try finding a decent original one any cheaper.  :o

If you're not picky about color, you can usually pick up entire Xenophobe joysticks (black handles with two thumb buttons on them) for significantly less than that.

You're probably not going to be too happy with a joystick hack, regardless of the handle you put on it.
They feel really cheap compared to a real arcade triggerstick.

Even the Discs of Tron/Xenophobe sticks don't feel right on Tron.
The DOT/Xeno sticks are tilted forward, and are true 8-way sticks.
Tron sticks were more upright, and are a modified 4-way stick that BARELY lets you hit the diagonals.

Thanks, I have been watching for the Xenophobe for a while.

Any other recommendations for Tron'able joys?  Are the SlikStik trigger sticks 4/8 way or analog?  Has anybody used these on Tron?

If you get one of these, you will need to buy a number of parts from happ controls to make it work (for the trigger, spring, back pad, etc.

I have the parts list around here somwhere if you are interested. It used to be on 1Ups site, but last I checked, that page wasn't available. I have a copy of it as a PDF, though.
