Is Mike's DK replacement joystick decent?
pcb:
Probably right around May 1 or so. I'll post for sure when they are ready for sale.
Coin_Op:
Can't wait 'till this is ready!
This looks very promising :woot

I was wondering about the status of this repro as well... I have the Donkey Kong Control Panel from MikesArcade, but dont really like the stick that comes with it. I was thinking of trying to fix up my old original stick and put that back in, but nice and new would be way better!
Timstuff:
On the topic of 4-way joysticks, I highly reccomend Tornado Terry's custom Ms. Pacman / Galaga Reunion sticks. You can get 'em in pretty much any color you'd ever want, and unlike the original Happ version, they can be used on either wood or metal control panels by requesting the appropriate shaft sleeve (the actual shafts Terry uses are custom, too). Here's his website, although if you look him up on eBay you might be able to get a slightly better deal. I'm not sure if at his site you have to order the ball top separate if you want a different color on the MPGR.

I'm very happy with mine. The MPGR is pretty much the de facto standard for 4-way microswitch joysticks, and I was glad that I could get one that fits my wood panel (and in a color that works with my CPO, to boot)! :)
