Post by: JRChristenson on January 23, 2019, 11:18:16 am

Which manufacturer makes the buttons and joysticks that take up the least space on the underside of a control panel?

Thanks.

1. What is the project/application?  (Cabaret?  Bartop?  Low-profile fight-stick?  1/8th scale micro-cab?)

2. Are you more concerned with the X-/Y-axis footprint, the Z-axis depth, or both?

Low profile controllers. I'm primarily concerned with depth.

Off the top of my head:

Concave buttons -- Ultimarc Goldleafs.

Convex buttons -- 30mm Sanwa OBSN.

Joysticks -- Probably a Sanwa or a Seimitsu stick like the LS-32.   :dunno
