Happ Competion the way to go Actually Wico's are the top top!!!! I use these 2. The only way well the right way is to buy them all try them out then sell the ones you dont like! Otherwise you''ll always wonder!!

Thanks for all the replies, I think I've settled on the Seimitsu LS-32 but since I'm not sure how to mount the joystick so I can avoid any bolts on the cp.

My cp is 3/4" MDF and I think I would need to route out the bottom of the cp to get enough of the joystick shaft to the topside of the CP. how much can I route out without weakening the cp and making the joystick flimsy?

Also what would I screw the joystick into to secure it?

Jack Burton:

Slagcoin will answer all your questions.  If you're mounting in MDF I suggest this setup:



I'd go ahead and get the Sanwa buttons if I were you.  They have a reputation for sensitivity, but they're not like "crazy" sensitive.  They're just overall higher quality.  Even in Japan many games use a Seimitsu stick + sanwa buttons setup.

I don't think slag coin has an answer to bottom mount the joystick to no plexi on top of the cp, I'm trying to avoid bolts showing on top of the CP.

If I route out the top of the cp to accomodate the joystick mounting plate can I fill fill it back in with bondo or something to make the top smooth for when I put down the CO artwork?
