Sorry for the lack of knowledge on this.

I'm not familiar with the slikstik, but I will go ahead and assume the sticks are bottom mounted and the put T-nuts up top.
If so, then you'll just open the cp up
pop the e-clip off the joystick
 take out the handle
undo the four bolts holding the joystick body up.
switch the wires from the old joy micro's to the new joy
take out stick from new joy
bolt up new joy body
drop in handle
reattach e-clip
Play Games ;D

You make it sound pretty doable. Now I just have to figure out which one to get.

Personally, I like the GGG Omni-Sticks for a 4-way short-throw stick, but unless you have room for and buy the mounting plate, they can be tough to install and have look right.

Have you looked at the Ultimarc Mag Plus 8/4 way swichable?   From what I have been able to tell during testing they work very well and can be switched from the top of the panel with nothing showing.



GoPodular.com:

I'd go with a reunion stick and a long handle.  It should be an easy swap, I think they use quick disconnects.  BUT, I'm fairly certain SS just uses wood screws, not T-nuts.  Be careful when taking the screws out/putting in so it doesn't get jacked up.
