Hello Everyone!
I am not only new to this site, but new to sticks.
I recently modded an Xbox and now have many arcade games 8)
I have been doing some research on sticks and ended up getting 2 Street Fighter 15th Anniversary sticks and 1 Pelican Real Arcade Universal.
Didn't plan on getting both, but it ended up that way :-\
My game plan is to take the SF stick and replace it with an IL Eurojoystick and for buttons use IL Convex.
Here is where it gets crazy :o
I know a lot of people plug 2 of the buttons on the SF stick so there are only 6.
I also know that a lot of people prefer leaf switch buttons for the vintage games.
My thoughts were instead of plugging 2 buttons, making them 2 leaf switch buttons.
So I would have an IL Eurojoystick, 2 Leaf switch IL Convex and 6 50 Gram Microswitch IL Convex.
Will this work? I am requesting the experience from everyone to let me know if this is a good idea or not.
I am not even sure I will be able to program certain buttons using certain games.... (Using CoinOps)
I know a lot of this is personal preference, but I don't have the experience to be sure.
If this didn't work, my other idea was to take the Pelican stick and convert it to a vintage stick and plug the extra 2 buttons on the SF stick.
Thank you for your help!!!!

I have been doing some more research and reading more threads about this.
I think it will be better to have a stick for fighters like Street Fighter and a separate stick for classic games like Pac Man
The main reason is the 8 way stick vs the 4 way stick.
Unless someone knows a good switching stick.
Thanks

Sounds like you have two sticks anyway. :-)
