Top Fire Button Joysticks
NoBonus:
Does anyone have an opinion on these? It seems like they are needed for a few specific games (especially if you do not want to buy a rotary joystick, but use a joystick and spinner combo). But which one to buy?
Groovygames?
Wico?
Happ?
Any ideas?

I have one I can pop in and out on my fully modular "piece" panel. Its an 8 way and I think it is a Happs, though I bought it second hand.
It works well as a second stick on tank games. It also works OK as the stick for Tron type layouts.
I've also found myself using it for a lot of other single stick games since quite a few games operate off one button. Its nice to be able to play with one hand at times! I've been contemplating purchasing a second.
Only downside is that it is designed to be metal mounted - so you either have to buy a mounting plate for it or counter sink it with a router from the top and then put some kind of laminate over it. If you mount it on the bottom of a wood panel it is just too short.
I can't really comment on the Grovygames and Wico versions - they appear to use a different joystick base.

Do you have photos of you modular panel? I am considering different modular options myself.

Here are some samples: this one with a full size trackball in the middle...

Or here's one with the top fire joystick and spinner...the flash and lighting are pretty bad here - it is not nearly as glossy in real life.
