Hey everyone,
I really like the look of the blue Seimitsu bubble tops. A few years ago, I bought a Slikstik illuminated balltop joystick. I like it fine but I hate the fact that they only came in opaque. When the Leds are off it would stand out like a sore thumb next to my translucent blue buttons, trackball and tron joystick. I even dyed the Slikstik balltop blue with boiling clothing dye to give it a blue tint. Again, it looks fine but I would really like to replace it with a Seimitsu bubbletop.
My problem is with the way I have my CP setup, it would be very hard to replace the whole joystick. Even just replacing the base or the shaft would be difficult. I was wondering if anyone knew if the Seimitsu bubble top would just fit right onto the Slikstik shaft. If it can't, is there a way to modify the Seimitsu's hole and thread to get it to do so. If anyone does that kind of work I would be happy to pay for it.
The slikstik ball top's hole measures a 1/2 inch in diameter. Thank you for the help.
