OMNI-Stik Prodigy Retro Edition, but it also switches to a 4-way.

Only one I am aware of that comes that way.

Wico Command Control joysticks for the Atari2600, C64, etc. came with firetop handles with a hollow shaft.  These can be modified to fit a standard Wico arcade joystick base. 

Wico also made balltop firetop arcade joys, but they are seriously rare.  I've only seen one.

The firetop joysticks sold by Happ have a hollow shaft as well.  They look seriously lame, though.

I completely spaced the topfires  :banghead:  Sorry about that.

It would be helpful to know what the intended use of the hollow shaft is though....
