Is the plate also a restrictor?  I'd like to see underneath it.

@woodshop - I really like the Groovy Game Gear leafpro joystick I just installed.  I've only played a few games but it's amazingly fun.  shorter throws than a u360 with circular restrictor.  perfect centering spring.  I couldn't say if it feels like an authentic rubber grommet wico, but it's a lot better than the Happ microswitch ms. pac for me.  worth a try for $18 or whatever.  I undermounted it to get the short projection above the cp.

The only restrictor is the rounded square hole you see here:



This picture also shows the screws that hold the microswitches in place.

I picked up one of the GGG leafpro joysticks.  I like the feel of it better than the U360.
