Joystick Help/Question

[FugaziFred]

I need some help/opinions.

I'm putting together my first CP, and since I didn't want to mess with the woodworking I bought the CP from North Coast Custom's. Got it over the weekend, and it is nicely built.

It is the two player panel, and it had cutouts, for three joysticks. I believe there intention was two eight way joysticks, and a third four way in the middle.

I put in one of the Ultimarc mag stick plus 4/8 way switchable sticks in the first player spot for testing, and I think I'll do the same for player two.

My question/problem is, what do I do with the third joystick hole? Would it make sense to put in one of the Ultrastick 360 joysticks so I could have analog support? Would that work properly as a usb device, alont with two mechanical sticks? Is there another choice that would make more sense?

Sorry if this isn't the correct place to post this question, I know it isn't a GameEx question, but I figured this is likely something a lot of you have had to consider.

Thanks for any suggestions/feedback.

You could put a spinner in that hole... Groovy Game Gear has one that fits the standard cutout and uses a USB connection.
