hello,  Centsible Amusements sells a 8 way leaf joystick that is made in China.  I was wondering if aybody had purchased one of these and how it feels.  I am building a retro cabinet and would like a leaf stick instead of the j-stick I normally buy from Andy.
Kremmit:
Those are generally regarded as crap.

Find a real Wico leafswitch stick on ebay and you'll be much happier.

I figured,  but I hafta try and save a buck or two wherever I can.  thanks
RayB:
The joystick is probably the one part where you shouldn't skimp.

A bad controller makes for a bad playing experience, which would invalidate all the work/money you put in making a MAME cabinet in the first place.

Yeah,  my last cabinet  I put in a J-stick and it wasn't the feel I was looking for being as I play all classics.  The only problem is the wico's are so stinkin hard to find.
