Thanks again.  Capcom fighters will be the most played games on my cab.  It's good to know that the E-stick sux for fighters.

I mounted my J-Stiks on 3/4" MDF.  I routed the underside down to ~4mm - I wouldn't want to go any less than that.

Also check your router chuck/bit after doing one 'player'.  I didn't and the bit gradually came out ruining a good job up to then  >:(  However I routed the top side down 4mm and sunk a 4mm metal plate to it, so it turned out ok :)

FWIW I really like the J-Stiks.  They are too light for some people but I find them a pretty good alround stick.  You can stiffen them up a bit by stretching the spring if need be...

Minwah-

Thank you.  I hate to impose after you were kind enough to reply, but do you happen to have a photo of how tall the stick is with your 4mm routing job?  I'm having a hard time visualizing how much I'm going to lose by mounting it below.  Did you have a sheet of plexiglass on your CP, or did you use something else?

Thanks-

Here is a pic of a Jstick mounted under 5/8" MDF and 1/8" Plexi.  I routed out the bottom leaving just the exact thickness of my Tnuts (3/8" or less).

It is solid and still has good stick height.
