Well I just discovered that CH has a whole line of industrial joysticks, trackballs, and buttons.

Check it out. Its definately not authentic arcade style, but if you wanted to give your control panel a cool futuristic, ultra industrial feel, some of the parts look pretty sweet. Check out the top fire button joysticks. I've always thought that was Happs weak spot, so maybe one of these would be a good substitute. And also the rotating joysticks look interesting, but they have pots instead of being optical.
Personally I'm more of a purist. I sometimes even gruble about my happs Supers because the don't have shiney red balls (uh, on top that is. I know, I know its a family joint)
Anyway, I thought at least one of you freaks might be interested.
