Question about using 'tall balltop' with T-Stick (it seems too long)

This may be a dumb question, but is the bottom section of the joystick (the part that goes below the CP) thicker on the magstick-plus than on the T-stick in the picture?

Going by the pics, they look like just about the same devices to me. If you mean the metal mounting bracket, that looks the same to me.

Actually I mean the part 'below' the mounting bracket.   My guess is that the "plus" makes the mechanics of the joystick a little 'deeper' (lower into the CP) which is why there is so much slack with the shaft I have.

It's like the shaft I have is too long for the joystick.  The difference is that it's a "T-stick" and not a "T-stick plus".  If the T-stick Plus (and mag stick plus) have some additional equipment on the bottom (the "plus" portion) then that would explain why the shaft I have is too long.

well here is a crappy pic of a magstick plus :)

AlanS17:
The T-stick plus does have a longer lower shaft. Because it's spring loaded, it requires a longer shaft to keep it from engaging and trying to 4/8 switch in the middle of a game. Switching a T-stick plus is accomplished by pulling up on the stick and rotating it. So when you let do, the spring drops it back down into a disengaged position. Follow what I'm saying?
