Unless you're deliberately restricting yourself to Happ products I'd add some other widely used joysticks to that list. For example Ultimarc's T-Stiks and J-Stiks (www.ultimarc.com), and the original Wico leaf joysticks.

Also the replacement joystick for original Pacman ganes is simply the Ms Pacman/Galaga joystick with an (outrageously overpriced) mounting plate added.

I use Wico leaf switch sticks.

I bought four "super" joysticks when they had them on sale.. good deal..
they did not have the P360 joysticks on sale at the time.. otherwise I would have contemplated buying those..  so far so good!

So you are saying a Sanwa is a Geo Metro and a J-Stick is a Ferrari, and someone is buying Sanwas and selling them as J-Sticks?  I was considering getting a J-Stick at some point and am having trouble deciphering your comments.  

I think what you are trying to say is that I can get a Sanwa cheaper than a J-Stick, and they are exactly the same stick.  While I've heard the term, I'm not familiar with where I can get a Sanwa Joystick.

I've got a pic of them but it's on normal film. I'll get them developed and post a pic next week for anyone who is interested. They are great because they are a great stick for classics like Time Pilot but also have very distinct diagonals for the fighters. Also they are old school steel shaft and red ball top which I love.

I think what he is trying to say is this.

The J-Stick is just a single small vendors name for the product. It isn't the actual name of it.
