I'm trying to find a good stick and buttons for my arcade cabinet build. This is the first thing I've ever done anything like this. I want to be able to play all kinds of arcade games and even console games on this thing.
I'm currently looking at
these buttons with the Cherry microswitch. I like the design of these buttons over most of the others I've seen although I can't figure out what kind of quality the manufacturer is known for.
Before finding a stick I found
these cool ball tops and didn't realize until later that they are only compatible with a couple different sticks so I'm looking at this
Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT. As I said, I want to be able to play all kinds of games, however I do want something that'll maybe be better for Ms. Pac-Man and Galaga.
I also noticed that Focus Attack offers differently shaped inserts for sticks so I was wondering what would be ideal for a multi-arcade cabinet like this. My first inclination would be for octagonal but I'm not sure. I'm only 21 so I don't have much experience actually playing classic arcade games, but I've always loved playing them in console collections so now I want to build a cabinet to play them in a more traditional manner.
Thanks for any help!
