Recommended material for joystick dust washers?

Got my custom joystick washers! A previous employer of mine did the job. They do great work.

27 washers laid out on a 12"x12" sheet, with a few different IDs & ODs for my different flavors of sticks, laser cut from 1/16" glossy black acrylic, for $52.32, including tax & free delivery courtesy of a former coworker who often eats dinner in my neighborhood after work.

I went with a gear motif, to match the rest of my cabinet art.

Thanks,

I wouldn't use what Paradise Arcade is using.  It's too thick and feels brittle.  Not at all surprised to hear it's acrylic, which should never be used in wear and tear applications.

Almost forgot out my Sega Saturn Virtual On removable controller hack. It has round dust washers no more. Gear dust washers! A bit tricky to implement on this, as there's wiring going up the joysticks, next to their internal metal shafts. A little filing did the trick.

Pics of before & after below.

Thanks,
