I hear they are made of strongtanium and NEVER break.

u mean something like this. U can find this on ebay if u search joysticks, get it from a guy called yaton66 or something i will try to find the link later. It a balltop though, but the spring return to center and it good overall. but u have to buy it in a set for $30 with 14 buttons and another joystick.

Yaton does indeed sell them, but it is not, IMPO, a decent stick for an adult cabinet. The restrictor "plate" is soft plastic. Definitely not Strongtanium(tm) like Nintendo sticks.

Oh, how hard are u going to play with these sticks. I mean if u only want a four player joystick, my guess is that not matter what u do, ur not going to break these things, unless u really, really try. I mean when i had these stick i played pac man, which is the only game i used these with, and they worked fine. But i guess i would go with nintendo, put i don't have anycompliants about these if ur using them for only 4-way games. For fighting games it a different story.

Oh yeah, i think Kanieval(i think i spelled it wrong, well the guy that invinted the light up buttons idea) he said he had some sticks that were great 9i think not sure) the were kind of ball top.

The issue is that the restrictor plates get worn and bent because they are soft plastic.

On a game like Pac Man you might not notice that you are hitting diagonals, but on a game like Donkey Kong you will.
