I use my Hori & Madcatz SF IV TE Playstation 3/4 joysticks on my PC for MAME and Steam, too. They work fine & are great out of the box in my opinion. Some Sanwa parts and they are moddable too, if you prefer Siemitsu
You mean like
this guy (real-arcade-pro-soulcalibur-vi-edition-for-playstation-4/)? How does that work on a PC? It has a USB port?

People seem to like the Mayflash F300 a lot as a moddable base and it's in your size range, more so than the fullsize PS3/4 sticks.
There seem to be
good and
bad versions or something like that? Hm, the F300 is the better version right? Also there is even more expensive/big "model number", the
F500, is it any better than the F300?
Also I don't know how big a PS3/4 stick is, but I don't mind a Saturn/Dreamcast-size one at all (doubt the ps one would be any bigger? I just don't want a huge 2P stick). A neo-geo-sized would be fine as well, but it would need to be as good as the original AES stick (cause I used it a lot so I would definitely notice if it was worse).

It's worth mentioning that the failed NeoGeo X stick is readily available for cheap and has, well, the NeoGeo form factor. I think they're perfect for lap use. The stick is flawed in the way its pivot is constructed, but I find it perfectly playable. It has the general feel of a Japanese stick without being actual arcade quality - maybe a good starting point.
That doesn't sound too good, that would definitely fall into" worse that the AES stick" right? Or maybe the AES stick is not that arcade-good after all? I remember liking it a lot, better than the Saturn/Dreamcast ones (on those I replaced the stick, but I don't remember if it was with sanwa/hori/seimitsu, it was a loooong time ago. At the time I did that for the nec, the md, ...). The original Saturn stick was better built, at least it didn't get stuck in corners.. The AES one was incredibly durable and pleasant. But ideally I would like the most precise stick for shmups.

It's hard to recommend an actual lever without knowing your own preference. You mention the LS-56 which some really do rave about, but I find its spring much, much too stiff for confortable shmup use.
Yeah, I just found that name in the thread I linked, but I have no personal reason to prefer it, it just came up the most. How would it differ from the LS-32? (also mentioned a lot). Of course a shmup can't have any bounce (for tap dodging) and that kind of things.

But yeah, for LS32 you I'd assume if you can find a new/used 'Hori Real Arcade Pro EX-SE' (360/ps3) that'll be the easiest route.
Would it be
that guy just to make sure? It does look nice. Somehow it does feel like the easiest option to choose.. As for modding, I did find some forgotten material somewhere but it'll wait. First let's play a few games.
