These balls fit the u360 right ?? also my Wico ball tops seem larger then my current u360 ball top.. Randy are yours the same size as the standard wico ball tops ?

I have no idea if the 6mm balls will fit the u360. I don't own one, as I have a very nice analog arcade stick I built here, should I decide I need one on my panel ;). But if they have a standard 6mm x 1 thread on the shaft, then they should fit.
As for the size compared to a WICO, no, they are about 1/16" smaller in diameter. The size is based on my preference after having seen and used so many varieties of sticks. IMHO, the size of the original WICO balls is almost comicly large. Large ball tops are nice, but unless you are sporting size 13 shoes, something a little smaller is probably going to be better. Based on what I have seen with the sales of the Versa-Balls, folks gravitate toward the 1 3/8" style by a much larger percent than those going for the 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" varieties. So we emboldened that size by 1/16" to make what I consider to be the perfect ball top size, even though it cost us more to produce because it's a custom size.

OOOPPSS never mind.... :laugh:
Ummon:
Yeah, those old Wicos are huge.

Wow,
That sure beats my old faded Wico trackballs, looking more yellow every day. Would have been wild back in the 80's to have all those colors with a back light added, being in a usual dark arcade.
