Curious about Japanese controls
Gunstar Hero:
The Dreamcast arcade stick is supposed to use the exact same stuff as a VF4 cab from what I've always heard, and it has a very square feel to it. Great for VF, not so hot for SFA3.
Grasshopper:
I've got some Sanwas and some Seimitsus. I disagree that they're badly made but I do agree that they feel sloppy. The Sanwas feel significantly crisper that the Seimitsus but the Sanwa springs are still too weak for my taste.
DYNAGOD, before throwing out your Seimitsus I suggest you replace the microswitches with light action cherries. I've done this with mine and it made a big difference. They still feel sloppy (perhaps even lighter than before) but they're much less noisy and a bit smoother.

I don't know about that himura amusement website. The "game chair" stools they sell are exactly the same ones I bought just this weekend at Ikea...for $5.99 (they have them for $10). I wonder if theirs come with Danish instructions too. ;D
Minwah:
I love J-Stiks. You can flip over the restrictor to lessen the throw (slightly), and stretch the spring to harden up the feel (slightly). I've done these to one of my sticks so far - it actually makes a surprising amount of difference, a fair improvement IMO.
