Very nice! Let me be the first to ask if you will have a 4-way restrictor option?
Whats the length on the joystick (suitable for robotron replacement)?
What does it use for centering? A spring? Rubber grommet?
Now this was what I was looking for in a 4-way.(Or switchable 4/8-way).
All you need now is an option for consumers to buy the leaf switches separately. ;D

Just got done prototyping a 4-way option. It'll cost a bit more due to the extra part, and installation will require a washer on each bolt as a spacer, but it's going to doable.

I *JUST* installed a True4 stick in my panel. I would've bought this instead.
EDIT:
Oh, wait, this is 8-way. Nevermind.
Beautiful, Randy. Very Exciting. Can you disclose a price point yet?
+1 wondering about alternate colored balltop options.

Randy,
Can you post the dimensions of the bolt holes for this Leaf-Pro joystick? How big should the opening be on the control panel for the joystick to go through? I didn't see these details on your web site?
Also, how close will this joystick (with 4-way restrictor) be to the revered original Pacman 4-way leaf joystick? What are the differences? I've always wanted to put a Pacman original stick on my control panel but I have a wood control panel (and don't have an original joystick anyway).
Thanks,
Tim

Just so you know, Pacman also used a wood control panel and the joystick was top-mounted with a plate like this http://www.twistedquarter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5&products_id=443 (http://www.twistedquarter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5&products_id=443) and then wrapped in metal.

I just picked up a Raiden II cab. It has the Happ american style joysticks which I don't really care for. I was thinking of upgrading to Seimitsu LS-32's like I've done in the past but I may give these a shot just for fun. Would these work well for shmups (i.e. short throw, capable of small precise movements)?
It's been a while - has any one tried the Leaf/Pro yet?
