If you really want pink then I would go with a pink Wico 4-way over any of the import sticks.

D_Harris:

Why is that?

And can you direct me to where these can be found?

Thanks.

Import 4-way sticks tend to have clover shaped restrictors instead of the diamond shaped ones that Pac-Man expects and most have very little resistance. You can't get a whole lot further from the feel of a real stick than these.

Bob Roberts has "Plum" wico handles that look fairly pink in person. You would have to source a 4-way wico base elsewhere. Those are probably the same 4" pink balltops you already have.

Really though the insistence on a pink joystick for Ms. Pac-Man is seriously hampering the gameplay for a tiny cosmetic change, as really, NOTHING plays Pac-Man right except the original midway stick and the reunion stick.

If you are going 4 way then I like the Sanwa JLW joystick.....  Only thing is they are pretty tight, but you can make it looser by changing out the spring to whatever suits you.   Also you can switch out the ball top to whatever color you like.... Solid pink, translucent pink with bubbles, 35mm diameter, 40mm, 45mm.... Etc..etc...

I agree. I like the JLW in 4way. It doesn't have the clover restrict or like seimitsu and zippy.
However I don't care for the stock spring or switches. I like them with the extra stiff spring and soft switches from either paradise or ggg.
