Franco I sent you a pm.

AndyWarne:

Dont forget that this will affect gameplay as the travel will be larger and the feel will be different if the pivot-point is located a long way down from the top of the panel... just something to bear in mind.

I didn't realize that, thanks for posting this andy.

I'm also in the same boat as i have my u360's on 3/4 wood, and they sit very low too low for me but then again i have the "stock" ones. Although they look like Nintendo Joy's that's really how low they sit, I know it's a matter of opinion but i might also be interested in having it match my wico joystick height that I'm used to on my Gun.Smoke machine but that's on metal so it obviously sits alot taller. Id also possibly be interested in having a custom made sticks from franco, but andy says it's going to effect game play, but is it drastic? With my wico stick my hand is always on the joystick where as the u360 sits so low that it sometimes rests on the panel. See pics below

While i don't mind buying this from franco / having someone make them, I was curious if Andy was going to make "Extra long" for wood panels, possibly with a hollow center for an led in the ball top. Some people can fit into S,M,L Shirts and some people need the XXL ones haha

Just out of curiosity Franco how much would 2x custom made shafts for the u360's be ? I would probably want it between 1/2 and 3/4 of an inch longer then the stock shaft to best match my wico

Ummon:

mrclean, think of it like using a screw driver. The longer it is, the greater torque you get, as well as greater travel. It's not going to affect the sensor array because the portion below the pivot point is the same. Hell, you can do an ad hoc mock-up on a surface by holding onto various length screw drivers like you would a joystick and see how they 'lever' around.
