Any interest in Leaf Switch Joysticks?

Sounds attractive.

On my current gigantopanel, I have:

4x WICO 4" 8-way "Robotron" sticks

2x Ultimarc Mag-Stik Plus 8-way

2x Wico mechanical rotary 8-way


On the latter 4, I've gone to great lengths to try to remove the horrible micro-switch clicking sounds: the put-tiny-folded-pieces-of-paper-in-the-microswitch-mech trick (but then I was having problems of uneven actuation of cardinal & diagonal directions), & hacking GGG's micro-leaf switches to fit on the joystick base (again, too much work & too fussy about easy diagonal actuation).

I finally ended up with minimal paper insertion in the microswitches--the sticks play fine now but are still too loud for my taste.

So, if there's a quiet option for those 2 joysticks, I'd buy it in a second!

Thanks,
-Jason

But a quick comparison of the two will show that it is not, in the most important of ways.  The angle at which the above photo was taken shows neither the "switches" (and I use that term loosely), nor the large and tall plastic collar surrounding the shaft on the unit.

@TopJimmyCooks: The buttons will be Rollie Type.  Short term I don't know if we'll have switchable but I do have some plans for a versatile joystick that would be switchable, and even have an octagon gate option.

@Grasshopper: I haven't seen Randy's stick in person, but I does look similar and like he has modified some of the things we would change about this.  if we were to use this stick it would need a new top plate, new gold leafs, and a new shaft so it could accept any ball top.  We were debating hollow shafts to allow for lit tops if wanted.

@jasonbar: You can swap the Mag-Stik micros for our upgrade kit, but you will have to trim the metal leafs: http://www.paradisearcadeshop.com/microswitches/239-seimitsu-ls-32-zippyy-joystick-upgrade-kit.html

I assume that would also go for the Sanwa JLW?

Necro:

armi, can you get a few pictures of this from different angles.  Would definitely be interested in it's overall build and possibly grabbing one.

...ok...not really...I just want to see this derail completely like the other one did on the joystick mounting depth.
