The above subject heading reads:
What Japanese brand arcade joysticks do you like to use for Jamma based shmup PCBs and/or home game console systems?
Of course, that would be easy between the two major Japanese arcade controller manufacturers: Sanwa and Seimitsu.
I do have both brands and do have an Dreamcast Agetech joystick modded with Seimitsu joystick & push button parts for use with my two Supergun rigs that was done by none other than oxtsu himself. The button placement is 100% Japanese arcade spec layout setup...so if you were to try it out, it would be like the button layout found on the full-size Japanese arcade cabinets for a six-button layout (fighting style setup).
I wanted this setup so I can play the USA Bios region version of American Sammy's Daioh Jamma-based arcade PCB that has both the original Japanese 2-button setup & the upgraded 6-button setup for the USA region settings (via using a custom-made kick harness that uses the 4th, 5ht & 6th buttons for the three bomb button settings in 6-button configuration mode).

For my vert cab, I have Seimitsu sticks and Sanwa buttons, which I prefer for shooters. On the horizontal cab it's Sanwa sticks and buttons, which I prefer for fighters.

I'm using homemade sticks with Zippy sticks and buttons. They SUCK ASS so I mostly use a hacked Genesis 6-button pad.
I picked up a ASCIIWARE PS1 stick today for a decent price, it has a microswitched stick with a pleasantly short throw so maybe tomorrow I'll stick in a DB-15 connector so I can use it on my supergun too. Unfortunately the buttons are still plunger though, so it's like a NeoGeo stick I guess.
