Best 4-way joystick

The shaft on my PacMan revolution is about 1 in. from the top of the joystick to the bottom of the ball.  The shaft on the Sanwa is 1-1/4 in.  If you routed out the bottom of your wood control panel you could mount the sanwa in 1/4 in. thick wood and it would feel great.  Or you could top mount it and just sink it down by about 1/4 in. under the plexi.

Are you referring to the T-Stik from ultimarc?  I'm a newbie trying to decide how to get started, and I'd prefer a switchable 4/8 way stick if it can work halfway decently.  I don't need perfect classic 4-way feel, but I want something that won't screw up a game like PacMan.

i was amazed by the short length of the throw on the t-sticks they are fine, but it is really wierd at first

Oh man, this decision is starting to look like all the other one's I've made for this control panel, I'll have to buy a bunch of different ones to see which one feels the best. I've already got a whole pile of extra buttons because I wasn't sure what color scheme I wanted to go with this time. I'm on my 5th prototype layout, you'd think after my original one I've used for the last 7 years this would be easy, but as the pile of parts grow, so do all of the tweaks and design changes. What do you think about optical joysticks vs microswitches, is one faster and more precise over the other? Hopefully you guys can help me narrow down the field so my mound of joysticks doesn't get too high  ;)

If I could only keep two sticks on my cabinet, for everything, they'd be T-stiks.
