What 4-way does everyone use?
creatine28:
I'm using a old style (Leaf) 4 way pacman stick. Works great! Also gives great feel to the older games, plus no clickety click!
I tried the supers in 4 way, but they didn't respond perfectly for games like donkey kong, although they did work ok.

Is anyone using the ms pac-man/galaga stick in a wood cp with a lexan overlay?
According to Happs the joystick height is 2.01". If I put a lexan overlay on top, that still leaves just over 1.75" of joystick. That seems like enough, but I am wondering if anyone else has done this.
One last question...when installing a lexan overlay, do I take the ball off of the joystick or do I have to drill the hole large enough to fit over the ball?
Thanks,
Mike

Most people use a custom made mounting plate to mount the stick. I routed out a fancy hole for my joystick and mounted it from the top much like a trackball. Either way is acceptable.
A 1 1/4" hole is fine just like the rest of your joysticks. You remove the shaft from the joystick when you mount it just like the others.
Nervous:
I like the Happ Super Joysticks. They can be either 4 or 8 way.
I've used the pac-man/galaga sticks, but they always feel too short.
