If you are trying to keep things on the cheap, I recommend Zippyy Arcade and Fight sticks.  I got mine from that link, Groovy Game Gear, but there is a coupon code in this thread that puts them at $7 each.  These are great inexpensive sticks that come with a 2-4-8 way restrictor.

They are very similar (from what I know, which isn't a lot) to the japanese sticks.  VERY different from the Happ stuff, which is why I tried em.  Not a big fan of Happ supers.  I haven't tried a whole bunch of sticks though, so I'm not the best judge.

Hi,

I've got a pair of Happ Ultimate sticks that I was about to list for sale.

They have a perfectly round restrictor, a lighter touch than the Supers, and they're cosmetically in good shape.

Here's a comparison of the 3 major Happ sticks from the old Oscar controls site:

PM with an offer if interested. Thanks.
