If i want to mount the following sticks and spinner, under my 1/2 " MDF Contol Panel, what diameter do the holes need to be routed at, so the shafts fit and enough for normal joystick movement?

Happ Comeptetion stick
Happ 49 way
Groovygamegear turbo spinner??

I wouldn't route. Use a Forstner bit (my favorite) or a spade bit. 
I find the 49 way works great with 1 1/4 inch, 1 1/8 will knock of the far corners if the joystick isn't centered perfectly. I assume the other Happ can just use a 1 1/8. The spinner need less then 1/2 inch.

Whats a Forstner bit, by the way. Is 1 1/4 the same used for push buttons??

Pushbuttons use a 1 1/8 hole

Usually a single bit will run you 25.
