Short travel joysticks?

I will have a look at these brands. Thanks.
On the x-arcade there is a 8 by 8 cm square hole routed out so it would be easiest if the plate around
the new sticks would just drop into that space.
And yes, the original sticks on the x-arcade activate quite early on their way to the stop, about 1/4th of the way
I guess, but if you want to change direction with whatever you are controlling you have to move the stick
 too far I think. This is a problem when I play Bubble Bobble where you sometimes have to move just one pixel
to be in the right position. I even went back to playing the game with a keyboard :( :( :(.
And that is just not right!

JLF is no sensitive:P it is medium throw
buy:
Magnetic Joystick (ultimarc Mag-stick) or Joystick 4-8 Ways Spring Action (ultimarc T-stick) - easy instal on X-arcade

Suzo Universal STC - ugly, hard installation, but work better

Don't see whats so funny about that.  Sanwa sticks are much much more sensitive than HAPP style ones.  Try playing a charge character on Street Fighter 2 with a Square gated Sanwa stick sometime.  It is fighting game nirvana,  Perfect Sonic booms straight into Flash Kicks, and vice versa.  Endless Balrog rushdown, etc.

Happ sticks are mushy and imprecise compared to the sanwas,  I have a number of both, and theres a reason i'm replacing the HAPP ones, they aren't as sensitive or responsive
