Ready to order!!!
cbmeeks:
OK, this has been asked a trillion times but everyone seems to have different opinions...imagine that!! lol
Anyway, I am going to order a couple of joysticks...I want 4-way action and am ONLY going to play classics (Dig Dug, QBert, etc)
What should I buy?
I don't like clickyness but aren't leaf switches hard to find?
Where/who should I get them from?
Thanks!

Hoagie_one:
all the Wico leaf sticks ive got were used. Dont know if you can get em NOS anywhere.
Try ebay .
If you decide to use clicky sticks, i like the T-Stick plus. Its a short throw but switchable from 4 to 8 way very easily.
bigle:
several people have bought nos wicos from nicade on ebay but i don't know if he has 4 ways.
if you end up going with microswitches, i'd go with the ms pac man reunion stick.

He does, I bought one from him a couple days ago.
edit: oh and to answer your question, a Wico four way leaf is almost certainly what you'll want for this application IMO.
