Topfire vs. Trigger...Need some opinions...
« on: June 20, 2005, 08:23:39 pm »
Ok fellow BYOAC'ers...In a related thread in this forum many of you will notice that I am in the process of designing an "easy" shaft for the most commonly used joysticks with a topfire button. The idea is to get a shaft a ball/bat made...myself install the button...then the owner swap shafts. Sounds simple right, well I thought so also however, I seem to have a small debate going concerning topfire button or trigger fire button. My plan is to make the topfire first. But if there are people looking for the trigger fire and I don't feel that I am wasting my efforts on something that I wouldn't personally use, then I will come up with a way. I would also like for people that take this poll to let me know what joysticks they currently use and what people would be willing to pay (no smart remarks please) so I know if a machinist could make the quantities at a price people would be comfortable with. Thanks again.

Matt

Top fires in general are less effective than trigger fire sticks.

I would love to see a trigger fire shaft for Wico bases, similar to the Tron cocktail sticks.

I use a self-modified T-stik topfire, or Tron/Xenophobe trigger sticks.

Err, I accidentally voted topfire. Whoops  :-[
Pretend I voted trigger fire. ;)

I'd be willing to pay $15-$20 for one compatible with a happ competition.

Me too, so I voted "trigger"

But I guess I can see where "bat joystick fans" would like a topfire, because (I guess) you grip a bat-shaped joystick differently than a ball-top.

BTW, you might want to rename this thread so people know what it's about.  I ASSumed that it was about a CP layout since that's what most 'request for opinions' revolve around in this forum.

Just a thought

I'm looking for the best all around joystick.  The magically elusive "everygame" stick.  Well with the Happ 49way, GP Wiz 49 encoder, and floyds rotary adapter, I am almost there.  If I could only incorporate a topfire in there, I would have everything.

I agree that a triggerfire would be better for accurate rapid fire shooting and more ergonomic for button presses than a topfire.  My problem with the triggergrip s that, I cant also play other games with it.  I wont want to play Donkey Kong with a big ol trigger grip, nor will I want to throw fireballs in Street Fighter II with a Tron Style trigger grip.  But I could do all this stuff with a topfire.  And if I wanted to play tron, the topfire would work pretty nice.  my $0.02.

does anyone have a good close picture or measurements of the "front" side of that tron stick?...without that designing and producing is going to be nearly impossible.

thanks for all of the continued support...

I'm not sure you're going to be able to completely reproduce the tron cocktail joystick without it being prohibitively expensive.

Ok, well I don't know how much my opinion counts because I am fairly new and at least a few months away from actually buying or building anything, but, that TRON cocktail stick is the coolest thing ever!!  I have never seen one before but I am going to see if I can track one down to buy.  Anyway, trigger fire is the best but I share timoe's worry about classic twitch games that are designed for an 8-way.  That TRON cocktail stick design would solve that problem handily. 

BTW, I told Floyd I would order one of his rotary adapters but haven't yet bought one.  Do you think that it's OK if I wait a bit longer or should I buy one now because I did originally indicate an interest?

You are correct, whammoed, I had never seen the Tron cocktail stick.  That is very cool.

I'm still hoping for a topfire though.  I can always get a Tron style 49way.  And I plan on doing so at some point.

Specfire-  I would inquire with fl0yd as to his current stock.  He might not make them forever.  You might want to get em while you can.  ...at least that was my paranoid packrat thinking

I would LOVE a cool looking top-fire or trigger fire.  Ray-B made some custom ball-top sticks a while back with top-fire, but I missed out on it.  I already have top-fires, so I'd just as soon have the shaft replace that....but it sounds like a top-fire shaft for the 49-way would truly make it a jack-of-all-trades.  P360 would be cool too.

ok update on the other post. machinist found...waiting for deminsions from markvp and drawings from franco so prototypes can be made. i still need a picture of the front of that tron stick to even have a shot at something "similiar". Quarterback is right in correcting me...once all of this happens the triggerfire will NOT be a replica, but something similiar in design. i am hoping RayB will chime in sometime with some assistance. thanks again all...it is coming along much faster than i first thought it would.

i did this intentionally for the reason that this post is simply to get an idea of if people want top or trigger fire while the other is dedicated to the design portion and what joys people are using. :)

the buttons i am currently thinking of have the option of no bezel...i am thinking that for construction ease though that a "hole" drilled into the handle for the button would be more simple than a square or slot. picture the balltop that "RayB" made but with the button in front...what do you think of that? how about without the bezel? what if it were a smaller button?...

I like the no bezel idea.  I don't think the button should be smaller.  However, not sticking out very far is probably a good thing.

A button on the FRONT of a ball top will not work unless you can devise a way to prevent the ball n shaft from rotating! Otherwise in the heat of gameplay, those suckers will rotate all over the place under the pressure of your finger press on the button. Even a little bit of "play" would be annoying. Keep this in mind.

Another side-note: The advantage of a bezel is that it can hide your workmanship! ;-) When I did mine, I had to dremel the hole larger, which created a slightly imperfect opening. The button bezel hides this imperfection (and also hides the hot glue I used to keep the button solidly in place).

Alternatives of course are to mount a button on the bottom of the shaft, and use a long rod to actuate the switch.

yes the general idea is to make the button as low profile as possible, wherever it is located. as to actual location of a trigger fire...please lets not get into that yet since i feel it may distract us from the primary design process. we could always start another thread...but i do understand your point of slighty below the "equator" line of a bat/ball top.

I recall playing with the Tron cocktail sticks some years back. They worked suprisingly well for my tastes, even though they don't LOOK like they would work. It'd be great to get a trigger into a standard joy.

Keep this in mind.

I know you've thought about this since it was something you dealt with when doing your top-fires, but couldn't you drill a hole through the shaft, slip a long-ish thin rod through that hole (making it look kind of like a propeller underneath your cp) and then put little 'blocks' on either side of the joy, preventing the stick from spinning?

Here's a MS Paint mockup of what I'm talking about

still would have play and here is why...the blue block would have to have slots instead of holes in them in order for the joy to move forward and back. those slots would still allow the shaft to twist a small amount. keep thinking though...

I know if would be additional 'rigging' to prevent the spinning, but conceptually it seems like it would work without much trouble and even a couple wooden blocks tacked into my CP could work.   And even a little 'play' wouldn't be too bad.

Or, you could just drill a hole though some wooden blocks and thread the rod all the way through :)

I'm not convinced spinning will be a problem during game play anyway.  Someone take a look at the cocktail tron stick and see how it is designed.
I would however be concerned with one of my toddlers continually twisting the joystick around continuously (for the heck of it...kids  ::) ) and eventually snapping the wires for the button.

Here is a link to a possible solution:

These are the current 1up Tron stick shafts for a 49-way and SUPER base based on the same principle



Oscar also had some nice examples, but his website is inaccessable from the home page right now.

that might work...i could "nub" the shafts. but that would mean people would have to "slot" the base and I am not sure people would want to do that. I know i wouldnt mind but some might and I would really like this to be a simple replacement.

Ideally the spin restriction should be at the pivot point (the point where the joystick tilts when moved). On a Wico, that would be the grommet.
NO MORE!!
