Keep in mind that a Satans Hallow triggerstick is a 2-way horizontal stick so it won't be any good for Tron or most of the other games that used this style/shape stick however the red handle shells from a Satans Hallow stick will fit a Tron stick.  That style of stick has been used on so many different games. Many other game manufacturers used them. Not just Midway. Over the years they have been used for 8-WAY, 2-WAY VERTICAL, 2-WAY HORIZONTAL, 8/4-WAY HYBRID (for Tron only),ANALOG and they have even been retrofitted to flight yokes for the handles ie. Two Tigers. So just be carefull and make sure you know what type of control lies beneath that oh so popular "Tron style" joystick you're about to buy. :)

Yes, but isn't the hack relatively simple to convert a 2 way horizontal to a 4/8 way?  Remove the "stick" from the joystick housing and place it in a 4/8 way housing?  Am I way off base?  Do I need to get my head examined?  I do need a beer, that's for sure. :)

I know that gorf sticks are analog, so that's not what i'm looking for.
