4 way joystick, Seimitsu LS-32, Sanwa JLF, or other?

I'm a fan of the JLW's too.  Great stick!

Purple Tophat:
Thanks for all of the great responses! I haven't played on a dedicated Pac machine in forever, so I don't think I'd really notice any difference. The wife is the huge Pac-fan, but she's not picky about anything except that it works ok and it's purple. Haha!

I think I'll go with the Sanwa JLW. I'm going to be buying a mameroom.com quad panel. Any idea if there's a particular model number I should get to mount under a wood panel and still be a good height? Like is there a longer shaft model for wood CP's? I couldn't find on the mameroom website anywhere where it said how thick the panel is.

mgb:
The jlw is a good choice.
   I think they only come with one size shaft

Just to clarify, if you have a balltop for a JLF, you are gonna need a JLW-T. If you get a JLW-U you will find that the shaft is too thick to fit the balltop. AFAIK, there really isn't any difference between the two models other than the shaft.

Ultimarc sells longer shafts for the JLW. It is marked as their Ultrastick 360 long shaft, but it will fit on a JLW. (Their J-stick balltop is a JLW-T) Make sure to get the shaft for the T and not the U, they have both.

You could also get a JLF, but you would need to heavily modify it to make it good for pacman. I only bring it up because some people get a kick out of modding sticks, and the JLF is an amazing, quality stick that is really fun to change around. You can find hollow extra long shafts for LED lighting as well. With no mods, the JLF is about the polar opposite of what you want for pacman though.  :lol

Wow! What thoroughly awesome info! Thanks so much. See, this is why this forum rules. Now I know exactly what I'm going to do! I'm definitely going with the JLW, and I'll order the longer shaft from Ultimarc when I place my order for my I-pac4 and a few other things! Rock on.

Modding joysticks sounds fun though! Maybe someday... as if I need another hobby!!!
