Happ Optical rotary joysticks
PL1:
X2,
Have you tried putting the LS-32/zippy switch kit into a Happ Super/Rotary?
I tried it on my Supers and really like the results.
YMMV.

Mytymaus,
Back to physically modding your existing Happ handles, (Disclaimer: I have not tried Sugru myself yet but have been reading tons of good things about it) you could buy Sugru, mold it onto your Happs in an octagonal shape, and let it dry.

I would want to build a form of some sort to get the octagonal shape exact but it could solve the problem of the grip issues of the Happ at a relatively cheap cost.

Nice suggestion. I have not tried this myself, but have read that something similar can be home brewed using "Clear GE Kitchen and Bath Silicone Rubber 1", thinned very slightly with VM&P Naphtha (hardware store) and colored with Acrylic paints (craft store, Wal-Mart, etc...) Supposedly, putting the resulting concoction into some water will allow one to roll it into a ball which can be modeled, shaped, spread onto a form, etc. and will have similar properties after a 24hr cure.
FWIW.

Hey Randy this looks like a job for you. it could be another product in your line! You should take a vote here and see who would be willing to order a custom grip for rotary joysticks. IM in for one if you decide you can do it!!! Anyone else?
