Joystick with smallest base

I've got a couple small projects in the planning stages that won't have much room under the control panel so I was wondering what joysticks require the least amount of space.  Any information is appreciated even for joys that are out of production.

Shallowest depth, smallest footprint or both?  All around smallest I have seen is our "Spitfire" stick.

This is what I did for a flightstick

The joystick takes up about a halfdollar sized hole on your panel
If you really meant joystick a normal arcade one doesnt take up much does it?

LeedsFan:

When you say taking up the smallest space, what exactly do you mean? Are you talking about the depth under the control panel... or the footprint the joystick plate takes up? The footprint can be awkward if you want to put button(s) very close to the stick. (For example Reverse button for Defender)

Seimitsu LS33 is quite small certainly for the mounting plate.

What I'm looking for is shortest depth under the CP not the footprint.  Sorry for the confusion.  The size of the mounting plate is not something I'm worried about.

That looks like a great option, I especially like the "Ruby Gemstone" ball option!

Could you provide the dimensions in this picture?  It would help my designing process.
