If you are trying to keep things on the cheap, I recommend Zippyy Arcade and Fight (http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=371) sticks.  I got mine from that link, Groovy Game Gear, but there is a coupon code  in this thread (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,137422.msg1417551.html#msg1417551) that puts them at $7 each.  These are great inexpensive sticks that come with a 2-4-8 way restrictor.

How are they for fighters? I am building a Xbox cabinet.

They are very similar (from what I know, which isn't a lot) to the japanese sticks.  VERY different from the Happ stuff, which is why I tried em.  Not a big fan of Happ supers.  I haven't tried a whole bunch of sticks though, so I'm not the best judge.

Hi,

I've got a pair of Happ Ultimate sticks that I was about to list for sale.

They have a perfectly round restrictor, a lighter touch than the Supers, and they're cosmetically in good shape.

Here's a comparison of the 3 major Happ sticks from the old Oscar controls site:

PM with an offer if interested. Thanks.
