: regular 4-way wico Joystick and swap the Joystick only? You might need a modified spacer maybe but I think it will work.
Hmmm - I remember when I managed an arcade... there was a simpsons machine that had ball top leaf joys.
I was having trouble with the darn leafs always having problems and needing cleanings... So, I went in and popped microswitches in one. Worked like a charm :)
I dont know if it was a special stick.. but I believe it was a standard ball top.
Also, for those wanting a nice ball top... why not just sand the plastic end off a happs stick, then epoxy a wooden ball (plastic, stone, or metal) to the top.
I used a belt sander on a happ stick to make my tron mod:
