in my opinion, it doesn't matter, as long as you get one that feels sturdy. I bought 2 of the arcade joystick from adafruit; and while I haven't had any problems with them yet, I think that I will eventually be replacing them because 'quality feel' just isn't there. They are nice and clicky though, so I got that going for me!

yeah, anytime that I read reviews, everyone says to go with sanwa

well my plan was always to go for a sanwa balltop but now im thinking i may go for the bat style. cant make my mind up
