What is the best stick to use for a wood control panel, mounted from below?

i'd go with a u360 from ultimarc.  if you get the longer shaft option, it mounts just fine under a 3/4" thick panel, and it is the most versatile stick you can buy.

if you are looking for a cheap option, the Happ competition stick should work just fine.

I hated mine. The short throw makes it too easy to engage diagonals when you don't want to. Plus, the mouting is ugly (and they're top-mount anyway, so they don't fit the topic)

Thanks for all the advice guys.  I'm thinking about going with maybe the competition joystick.  I see there's an Ultimate Joystick too, that looks excactly the same as the competition joystick, but is a few dollars cheaper.  Does anyone know the difference?

I would not use either one myself.  They are 8-way sticks and they are horrible for Pacman and other 4-way games.  Comps are supposed to be better for fighting games than Ultimates.  Beyond that, they are pretty much the same as far as I can remember.  Still I would strongly discourage you from getting those if you are going to play Pacman, Frogger, DK, or any of the popular 4-way games.

If you are getting Happs, go with the Supers.  You can set the actuator in 4-way mode, but it is not true 4-way mode.  It will let you hit diagonals if you hit them just right, yet you can still play Pacman and other 4-way games better than with the 8-ways

The Super was what I originally wanted, but they aren't available in any other color besides black.  I need a yellow one :( 

So i'm left choosing from the Competition or the Ultimates.  They look exactly the same to me, how is the throw on these?
