SHiNjide Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Interesting site! I love the Seimitsu LS-32 and built a Atari/C64 joystick with it. Plays very well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Yes, there´re really a lot of information, not only about the sticks themselves. I ordered a Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT. Sleepy Edited March 31, 2015 by Sleepy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akator Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Interesting site. Although, after reading it someone without experience might think Happ sticks were complete crap There's some who love leaf springs and hate microswitches. Some love rubber bushings instead of springs. Some love convex buttons, others concave. Each brand and design has a different feel. If you love classic 80s arcade controls, Happ style may be more familiar and comfortable. Younger players generally seem to prefer Japanese controls. Over the last decade I bought and tried a lot of different controls. Many of the "most awesomest eva" did do much for me. I want to move my arcade controls, not nudge them like I am playing a gamepad. But that is personal preference. The only way to know for sure it to try them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk40001 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Hi, I´m going to fit my desk with a build-in joystick. Searching for the right stick, I found an informative site: Slagcoin. Here you can find a lot of detailed pics and information about (arcade) sticks. Sleepy Just made a joystick by myself last weekend. I posted some photos here. My choice was Sanwa JLW-TM-8 joystick and Sanwa OBSN-30 arcade buttons. Although I never did anything similar before and my wood working experience was almost zero too, It was enjoyable and rewarding experience. Don't forget to post some photos of your desk and share your experience. I am curious . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible kid Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I made one too, I think they are great. I added 2 extra buttons amiga 1200 style for when I make a parallel port adapter for my pc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
