I got my Suzos! :D

Stormrider:

I still have to build the box, hack the pad, buy the buttons, etc, but, since this will be my new panel, I have time and patience. So, I had not tried the sticks yet with a good shmup or any other game with which precission is the key, but I guess they will perform even better than my currect T-stick. The throw is really impessive, very very short and the strenght to move the stick is slightly lighter than that of the T-stick. What's really great is that the stick stays very firmly in the center until you push it, so it doesn't swing at all (a problem that is present in my T-stick). I find this stick a little longer but I plan on installing it from beneath a 19mm mdf board, which will make it shorter. I don't know, however, how I will fix the problem of the visible hole (see the pic), since the stick is conceived to be installed on iron or any other thin material. Anyway, take a look and see how this stick looks and works. What could be better than a video to show you how they feel....?

A Suzo stick is a joy forever !

Dutch pride :)

There's only one better stick and that's the Suzo Inductive.

Enjoy !

wood 4mm + metal panel 2mm I use washer from crap KC-04:P

originally you need metal panel with hole about diameter 45mm.
but I do not like how joystick gets up high.
I command second way from your drawing add only new big washer from iL Eurojostick or Compact joystick. You can alone make new washer from CD box.




Turnarcades:

It's not difficult to fit them to wood panels. Route it out to amout 3mm thick, then use a hole saw to cut a perfect round hole for that recess. They are incredibly sturdy sticks and have survived longer over the years in British arcades than any of those 'long-throw' sticks!

Stormrider:

I love your panel Kowal. That's more or less what I've planed for mine. I don't want to use artwork, but a textured surface like the one you used. What is it, paint or any kind of textured vinyl? I see you're using a replacement shaft. Unfortunatelly I have not access to that here in Europe. Anyway I don't like the idea of disassembling the stick so I think I'll use a hand-made washer cut in the half which I'll install glueing the two pieces one the stick is installed. If I'm carefull the result will be acceptable.
