Joystick Shape
The two most common arcade joystick shapes are the ball top and bat top style. In North America the bat top is by far the most common with the ball top style being most common in Japan. The shape of the joystick is largely considered a matter of personal preference and comfort, as different types of grips are possible with each shape.

Famous quotes containing the word shape:
“Thir dread commander: he above the rest
In shape and gesture proudly eminent
Stood like a Towr; his form had yet not lost
All her Original brightness, nor appear’d
Less than Arch Angel ruind, and th’ excess
Of Glory obscur’d: As when the Sun new ris’n
Looks through the Horizontal misty Air
Shorn of his Beams, or from behind the Moon
In dim Eclips disastrous twilight sheds
On half the Nations, and with fear of change
Perplexes Monarchs.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
