Also, something to think about: if you replace the centre block in the leaf sandwich with a medium rubber the switch becomes precisely tunable with a screwdriver rather than pliers.

This really isn't a good solution. The leaves of the switch have a small amount of lateral play, which allows for precise positioning of the contact points. Once adjusted, and tightened, the alignment is held. With any sort of flexible material in the stack, it will be impossible to hold this alignment properly.

Thanks for the update Randy.

More in stock now!
And speaking of "in stock", thanks to the prodding from a few good folks, we have decided to once again offer the classic GP-Wiz49™ Interface with the Digital Restrictor Selection Technology™ we pioneered. It's now based on our new board design, and we have updated the documentation for it (but not the photos yet...it looks like the GP-Wiz PCBs.) If anyone has either style of the classic 49-ways, you are fortunate, as they are, IMHO, the best feeling and performing sticks out there. The GP-Wiz49 with DRS, makes them great for arcade gaming. I have all options available to me and I use them on my setup. That says something.
Unfortunately, the new ones being sold by HAPP are expensive and suffer from a grommet issue (wrong kind of rubber) which makes them mostly unsuitable for use with the GP-Wiz49, due to slow/poor centering. It's correctable, but that drives the cost further. I have a stash of high-end units, modified with proper natural-rubber grommets, stainless shafts and Hand-Candy balltops. They are the "Mercedes" of joysticks, and they are pricey. But if anyone is interested, let me know and I'll try to figure out what I need to let them go for.
