Yes. They sell the trackball/joystick sets/controller board as kits on their website...the trackball CP you have is just their kit in a CP shell...you can take it apart (voiding warranty of course), mod it, replace it with other joystick parts etc.

I don't think you can hook up a joystick to that set up. You would need one of the regular x arcade joysticks.
