What joysticks do you prefer and why?
JoyMonkey:
Can anyone tell me if joysticks come with a standard base size, or are they all different? Will the holes I drilled in my CP for an X-Gaming stick also fit a Wico Series 500 stick? Or a Happ Super?
I assume they're the same, I can't find any Wico dimensions though.

I'm going to order Sanwa sticks from their japanese site. i'd get the j-stick from Ultimarc but it only comes in one colour.
armad1ll0:
You can't.
Note Ultimarc is like the only site I've found in English that you can order Sanwas from. In Japan it's not very common to use credit cards for online transactions. You need to send cash (yen) or do a bank wire transfer. This is really unrealistic for a normal person that just wants a couple of sticks. All I wanted where a few new balls in different colors ($1 each) and I can't manage.
I even have Japanese coworkers that translate the pages for me. It's not so simple.
BTW... M3talSlug, very nice CP... I'm impressed.

A guy from www.virtuafighter.com called Catch22 ordered Sanwa parts from their website. He e-mailed and got a reply in English. They gave him everything he wanted and threw in several limited edition VF4: Evolution keyrings for good measure.

I use the J-sticks balltops and I really like them, that's my vote. I play 4 and 8 way games pretty regularly.
Someone who wants a different ball color could dye the red ball black or another dark color like purple maybe.
