Hello,
I am looking for a 4-way ball top joystck, however I need the ball top itself to be brown or orange (may settle for yellow or white, if I have to). Where can I find one? I only seem to be able to find red.
Thanks for your help!

I know they exist (Orange,Yellow), I've seen them in "The Simpsons" and maybe Teen age Mutant Ninja Turtles.

This may seem silly--but buy the red and paint it whatever color you want--be a lot easier than trying to find an oddball color. krylon fusion will bond to plastic handles quite well.

You can paint a joystick all you want, but the paint WILL come off over time.
I truly don't understand how you guys 'NEED" a joystick to be any certain color. The original manfacturers usually weren't even that picky. And you just listed 4 different colors, so obviously you don't NEED it to be a certain one.
With all that said.
The TMNT and Simpsons joystick handles should fit in the 4-way Wico bases to give you what you are looking for. Now good luck finding a decent 4-way Wico base.
I actually DO have some orange Wico balltop sticks, but they are 49-way, and the handles don't work on the other types.

I have a bluish-purple ball top and a red ball top in my Xmen cab, but they are 8ways.

If you must know, I'm building a theme cab for a company. I'm trying to use colors that will match their corporate logo's colors. Red is not one of their colors.
Thanks for the input, everyone!

Those odd colored balltop handles on 4-player Konami games should drop into old 4-way Wico bases.
