Go build (or buy) a box. Then buy 2 Competition or Super Joysticks...$20. Buy 14 buttons ($1.50 each)...$21. An encoder will cost around $30 (ballpark)...wire...lets say $4.00 to be even and we are at $95.00 for a nice 2 player x6 button control panel.

They pretty much ARE a Happ Super, except for the microswitches.

Microswitches, corner throw, and spring. Other than that, they're about the same. :angel:

Paypal will issue you a credit/debit card that draws from your Paypal balance. It's free.

Oh, is the throw different? I just assumed that the company making the knockoffs took their mold from an IL body, and so would have more or less the same dimensions. Forgot about the spring, though.
