just got two full sets (eight 30mm buttons and two sticks). having been used to happ sticks and buttons, i've got to say, these are amazing. like 1/3 of the weight required to press the buttons, and the sticks are soooooo responsive... i got one set of pink and one of green to go with the new astro i'm ordering next friday... can't wait:)

Oh man, if only I could figure out how to put these inside a Big red CP I would do it in a second. JP sticks > US sticks. I've seen videos of Japanese player doing walk up 720 with Zangief in Zero 3. That just isn't possible on a US stick.

Corey (zer0logic) has found a way to put Sanwas in US cabs. You might want to PM him, I think he is giong to start manufacturing the mounting plates needed to do the mount - without any modifications to your Big Red

How high does the stick sit once it is mounted in the cabinet?

I have Sanwas in my Impress cabinet and the sticks are around the same height as USA sticks...just not as tight.

I would assume you would have to use a dremmel tool to cut out some wood so that the sanwas can sit higher like USA sticks. Maybe I am wrong. I sure would like to see more of your work though:D

Neo Geo Big Red control pannels are metal therefor the controler sites pretty high the only real limiting factor at this point is the polycarbonate I am using for the moutning plate. Once my metal ones are made that will not be a problem and they will sit at the same hight as they do in a candy. Right now they sit pretty high already deffinatly good to play with.
