Thinking of doing an 8-way joystick shootout...

No idea what Alice's Restaurant is, so yeah, I missed the reference. I'm not really sure how objective one can get, however. I mean, yeah, I can do measurements 'n stuff, but what it really comes down to is personal feel, comfort, and playability. I suppose one objective test could be in game performance... but not sure I'm going to go that route specifically.

Either way I'm looking forward to your research.

The most likely set up will be a modular fight stick, with a removable joystick panel and using molex connectors to swap out sticks easily. I don't have enough encoders at the moment to build completely separate sticks for as many joysticks as I'd like to test...

Round and bat knobs, silent switches, different spring rates, different throw cones, 4/8/octagon gates, etc. There probably are other sticks like this too.

The only way to keep this manageable is to test the stock stick and mention the commonly available options.

If you are interested in looking into Crowns, both Paradise Arcade and Focus Attack sell them.
They have a nice round motion to them but the stock switches are clicky so they're best with soft switches or cherries

It's the quintessential Thanksgiving movie staring your favorite folk singer Arlo Guthrie . Watch with your friends.
don't watch with strangers; it takes a weird turn

Whilst these things tend to be very subjective, I found the write up of the four way stick shoot-out be very informative. I very much look forward to reading this one. Personally, I'd like to see some comparison to the 8 way GGG leaf pro if at all possible as i haven't seen many opinions voiced about this stick
