Good 4-way joystick?

I emailed a vendor recently asking about a Happs 4-way and this was his reply:

"I stopped buying the 4 way pac stick from Happs because it's only made for thin metal control panels. It required that you rout away over 1/2" of your 3/4" control panel in order for the handle to stick up far enough for pratical use. I now stock the Betson version of the stick. It's identical but it has a longer handle which means you install like any other standard joystick."

I've not yet installed the Betson he sent me, but it looks good.

Never heard to the Betson 4-way.  Sounds interesting.

On the Betson 4-way, the vendor's name was Jack Thompson and his email is arcadesrfun@hotmail.com.

How many do you want?
4-Way Wico Auction
I've done alot of business with that seller, and he is top-notch.

I've got an original Pac stick, and a couple 4-way Wicos.
I like the feel of the Wicos over anything else I've tried.
The throw is a little longer than some other sticks out there, but it's really smooth--which helps my game immensely.

Would love a pic of the Betson- I've never seen their name attached to anything but trackballs.  Anybody got a URL for Betson?
