Should Tron Joy be combined with another joy?

The only changes I made were to add a right-side thumb button to the Tron stick, and a straight handle (to replace the forward-leaning one) on my DOT stick.
The sticks feel really funny if one leans forward, and the other doesn't.

uh oh... i was hoping to be able to play tank games with a happ heavy-duty 8-way flight stick (which has the forward lean) for the right hand and a happ rotary (which is a short vertical stick) for the left hand. perhaps it was a bad assumption that this would work ok.
is it possible to put a vertical grip in the happ 8-way? if so, what would be the best way to go about it?

It will WORK OK, but may FEEL funny.
I've actually used a mix of this and that at different times on my modular panels, all of which work, but feel different from each other, or less than optimal.
The Happ rotary is going to feel different than either of the triggersticks, so I would worry about swapping the handle out.
It's just really weird feeling to have the SAME stick in both hands, canted at different angles.

If you can find a used Tron stick, or Gorf stick, that's missing alot of parts, it SHOULD be a straight swap on the Happ handle.
I've never actually done that particular combination; but, to the best of my knowledge, the specs on the Happ handle are identical to the Xeno sticks--with the exception of the switches on the bottom.
The forward-leaning ones are cheaper and easier to find, and work fine for Tron, so going with two of those is the easier way to go, if you want matching sticks.
The thumb buttons are also easier to use on the forward leaning sticks, than they are on the upright ones.
