Anyone recess their joysticks for ergonomics/comfort?

Which direction are we talking?  Joystick shaft feels taller or shorter?

Shorter.  I mostly play classic games.

My U360 is currently mounted like the picture on the right (stealing Bender's image):

First panel I build I bottom mounted my Happ Super's without routing (5/8" thick total).  On my latest controller, I recessed the stick by about 1/8".  That little extra height makes a surprising amount of difference in gripability, imho.

The U360 is based on the Sanwa JLW series joystick so the pic on the right is actually closer to how it is supposed to be mounted.  It doesn't surprise me that it feels better.

Is there a standard for how it should be mounted?  Do you have a link?

I'm contemplating going a little bit lower than what is there.

Thanks!

I have the left image situation, but a little lower, as the washer is under the top plate. I mounted a small ball on it (30mm) and it plays perfect for the classics.
