Simple and fast arcade stick build

I had this left over top surface from a previous build but there's no purpose for those slots. The slots in the top plate are left over and should be ignored. You can see how they're used to slide and lock in place here:

All the sanwa joysticks I've purchased always had those 2 center screws holes. 4 seems overkill. Hasn't posed a problem for me yet...

4 mounting screws, one in each corner of the rectangle seems like the most logical choice when mounting a joystick. But hey, maybe you are really delicate with the joystick while playing fighting games.

Worst case Ontario, he'll learn through denial and error.

I used #10-32 bolts. If fastened to their unlubricated tighting torque of ~30lb-in, they'll provide >800lbs of clamping force.

It's a miniature arcade stick, applying anything more than 2lbs to the joystick will send it off your lap. This isn't a stand up cab you're putting your full weight in. I'm confused why it would come loose. However you guys want to play arcade games is fine by me, simply drill more holes in your top plate than I did.
Did I mention this was a simple and fast stick?

Don't worry, this is constructive criticisim... Imagine if you posted this on KLOV.
Personally, I like the ingenuity behind a 3D printed "quickstick". (Disclaimer: "Quickstick" is a registered trademark of Gameroom Designs Canada.)
