What are the all available 4-8 way* top* switchable joysticks?
Justin:
Hi all! I'm back after 15 years. yikes!
Im looking to redo my MAME Cabinet's control panel. I currently have a4-8 way switchable joystick (SANWA).
I want a different type than can switch from the top... I see only so far the ultimarc MagStik Plus, but that won't fit my very constrained panel. Are there any other options that will top switch?
If not, has anyone hacked the SANWA to allow for switching from top?
Thanks!

Have you considered automating the process with Ultimarc ServoStiks?

Thanks! I'll look. It seems even larger though!
I also need a small compact 2.25inch trackball and a place that will fabricate my wooden panel to specs lol. Oh good times!

if you got room for a button, you can now switch sanwa joysicks with just a press of one.

I'll be damned. Wow. But I think this adds to much height to the assembly and it won't fit my panel. Ugh!
