More so functionality and it does seem to look like it sits really low. You can't fit a finger between the ball top and control panel. I don't even have as much room as pictured.

When I had the short-stick Zippy without routing it was as low as you're describing.  I didn't like it much, I felt like I couldn't really get a good hold on it comfortably.

I routed out 1/4" and it's at a good height, at least as high as the Ms Pac Man pic.  Now, the Pac joystick is smaller than the short stick ones so that's why it's probably lower.  If I had to do it again I'd probably go with GGG's True Leaf Pro balltop which would probably be about the same as the zippy.

The True Leaf looks to be sold out at GGG. I like the zippy, I'm routed 1/4 right now. Did you get the standard zippy or the extended one?

Saneless:

I initially had the long shaft zippy to get around routing. Didn't like the feel though for 4 way old games. Bought a short one and routed it out. It's considerably better than the long.

Also IMO it was worth getting the quieter switches from GGG.

More are on the way.  The last batch went quicker than expected.  IMHO, you won't find a better 4-way for the price.   But if you go the Zippyy route, you'll definitely want a short shaft for 4-way, and the upgraded switches are recommended.
