Is there an inexpensive way to buy a joystick\buttons that are 50% smaller than standard joysticks? I'm really enjoying the bartops and wish there was a smaller joystick\buttons I could use. The joystick base doesn't need to be smaller - just the buttons. Perhaps a super with a machined shaft and smaller ball top? I'd pay approximately $20 for a smaller joystick and $5 per button. RandyT? :) |

Sanwa sells a 30mm ball top and 24mm buttons They are pretty small the Seimitsu LS-33 is a joystick with a tiny footprint |

I used a nail and some putty for the PocketGalaga joystick :P I only wish someone would machine me a 5mm balltop for a 2mm shaft. |

I'd be interested in miniaturized arcade controls. Maybe happ has some things for the bartop market? |

Mini shafts with a small ball top would definitely be doable and I'll look into it when the machinist is done with the current project :) But the buttons won't be so easy without ending up with something less than authentic looking. That being said, I do have one in mind that might be a nice alternative, but I'll have to get some samples in. I'll add it to the list. RandyT |
