Looking for a solid 4-Way for use in my 48-in-1. I'm still in the process of building the cabinet, but last night I decide to test out an 8 to 4 way switchable joystick I had laying around and it felt VERY sloppy, even in four way mode, when playing the classics (Pac Man, DK, etc).

I was considering getting one of the Galaga/Ms Pac reunion 4-ways from Bob Roberts, but to my understanding these will not mount properly in a wooden panel. Is this because the shaft is too short? This is a concern for me as my CP is wooden.

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or decent 4-way sticks up for sale. Leaf or microswitch is fine with me.
 
If you can find a joystick mounting plate for your wood control panel, I suggest a Sanwa JLF joystick. They are loose sprung joysticks but the motion is extreemly accurate and precise. They are the stock joystick in modern japanese arcades and in higher end street fighter console joysticks.

The restrictor plate can be switched to a 4 or 8 way mode.

Lizard Lick stocks them but so do many other guys.
