No, they're Sanwa. It's the same size thread so you can stick anything on there.

Your standard Sanwa balltop is a little bigger but that's hardly an issue.

Give your body time as it might take a while to get used to the added girth. But once it does you'll be glad you did.

So, the original balls are 30mm rather than 35? AFAIK, Akihabarashop still sells the 30mm ones (Seimitsu).

According to Exar who made Neo Geo Stick 2's and 3's, that's correct. The original AES stick has a 30mm ball, but Exar went for 35mm balls for most of their models.

I was thinking about this just moments before I saw this topic, any chance one of my spare Seimitsu ball-tops are compatible with my PS2 Neo Geo Stick 2?

No idea. I guess you will have to try it for yourself?
