In my humble, untested with these particular joysticks opinion - I love me some Microswitch joystick. I have authentic Sanwa JLF's In my Arcade 1up Retropie conversion cabs, and they are fantastic.
That being said, I don't know that you can really get a proper microswitch stick with the right amount of throw into a CX40 sized case and have it feel right.
To me, Microswitch style sticks are made for the abuse of a standup cabinet, and the hand holding the case could get real crampy trying to manage that much throw in a handheld. Unless it's a really tight stick throw, which would be fairly stiff. Not a big fan of that. microswitch sticks that are too tight with the spring and switches is a lot of work on middle aged flab claws.
But still... cool. I like it. When I was 14 I would've spent all my paperboy money on that.
