I was at a water park this past weekend and they had an arcade with one of these machines in it. I just loved the feel of the joysticks. No clickity click, very springy, no corners in the diagonals. I'm almost positive they were leaf style.

Any suggestions would be appreciated...

Thanks guys. I really liked the feel of these joysticks.

What other joysticks, in your opinion, would have this same feel (i.e., leaf style)

Thanks!

Nothing else feels quite like a Wico leaf.  I have a few used ones I could sell.

A Happ 49-way uses a grommet, and has round restriction (no corners), but the feel's definately different.  They're on sale from Happ through the end of the month.

Hmm, actually, a Monroe joystick feels pretty close.  They use a ball-pivot instead of a grommet.  Monroe's have a really short handle, though, so you would need either a metal panel or to top-mount it.  I think Nostrebor has one for sale in the Buy/Sell/Trade forum.
