Best Controls for Shmups?
SithMaster:
im looking for something that is comfortable for extended periods of play (like 4 or 5 hours) and has decent throw so it doesnt hurt the arms for joys.
buttons well whatever lasts longest and is quick to register. not sure if this has a name but i dont wasnt the buttons to be stiff.

I recently put the lighter switches in mine, and I like it an awful lot for schmups.

Did you see the thread where Randy loosened the screws holding the plate to the base, expanding the spring to lighten it? If so, have you tried this too?
brophog:
No I havent. One thing I noticed though is that, with the new switches the player 2 stick seems to drift to the upper left diagonal. I'm gonna swap it out with the player 1 stick and see if it's the stick or the way I have the cabinet built or the way we're standing.

Yes then truth... they are in Japanese CandyCab because this Japanese joysticks -Nationalism ;D These are contract 2 firms:
Sanwa - Taito, SEGA, Sammmy
Seimitsu - SNKPlaymore, Capcom
MCDonald - coca cola.... KFC - Pepsi. Believe me players not May here nothing to saying. I had Sanwa JLF and JLW. Sanwa then joystick for 3Dfighter games. This never be done for shootings. Personally prefer Mag-stick Balltop (Light Action Switches) or my modded P360 (I altered pivot, spring and shortened stick)
