Joystick with Shortest and Softest Throw?

I have a Suzo 500. The throw seems longer than the of the inductive?
I forgot why I settled on the inductive instead of the Suzo 500 (many years ago).
@ Seimutsu: I had read that they have super short throw and highly responsive. So I was thinking its shorter than the Suzo 500.
But maybe I read a biased review?

Btw, I'm using white/red Cherry microswitches in this Suzo 500.
At the time I got these, they went for being the softest around.
But this is 5-6 years ago.
Would there be any newer ones today that would be even softer?
apfelanni:
seimitsu ls 33 is the softest stick i have encountered so far. with its short handle its excellent for use in table arcades .
emphatic:
The SUZO sticks (both the 500 and the Inductive) have the shortest throw I've encountered in a stick. I love the Seimitsu LS-32 myself, but it all depends on the type of game you want to play. I've heard good things about the LS-33 and LS-56, but haven't yet tried them.
I have a SUZO 500 with OMRON switches (same as used in SANWA JLF) in use now (I mainly play modern bullet hell shmups where accuracy and quick response is important) and it's in my opinion better than the Seimitsu LS-32 as the latter does have a bigger dead zone and the shaft is allowed to move around in a way that I can't describe.
The SUZO Inductive gives a higher quality feeling than the 500, as the 500's seating of the microswitches is pretty bad (i.e. they aren't "locked" down but needs some calibration). The Seimitsu's are much easier to install than the clunky SUZO sticks though.
captainobvious:
Does anyone reading this happen to own both one of the Suzo's and the LS-56, and can tell me which one has the shortest throw?
Thanks for the replies so far, guys. :applaud:
