ok so what sanwa stick should I buy then? Im on lizard lick most are out of stock but there is a few different types. Also is there any other places to buy these sticks that I do not know of?
Dude read the stickies. Or Slagcoin, ALL of this info is there for the taking.
Hit the lab and work on your reading comprehension.
This is true, and I have but the doesn’t go into great detail for the different models that are offered on lizardlick.com for the JLF series like
Sanwa JLF-TM-8T-SK
Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT
Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT-SK
But I do appreciate the input 
All Sanwa JLF are the same; some just have different suffix to show what is added on.
Here the six variations listed in Sanwa Catalog ('07~'08):
JLF-TP-8 is Base JLF.
JLF-TP-8Y is Base JLF with the TP-MA (PCB) rotated 90°.
JLF-TP-8T is Base JLF with JLF-P-1 (Flat Mounting Plate).
JLF-TP-8YT is Base JLF with the TP-MA (PCB) rotated 90° with JLF-P-1 (Flat Mounting Plate).
JLF-TP-8S is Base JLF with the TP-MA (PCB) rotated 90° with JLF-P-1S (S Mounting Plate).
JLF-TP-8Y-SK is Base JLF with the TP-MA (PCB) rotated 90° with JLF-CD (Shaft Cover).
Of course other variations can be done too:
JLF-TP-8-SK, JLF-TP-8T-SK, JLF-TP-8S-SK, JLF-TP-8YT-SK.
I’ll just add this for completeness, since it is JLF:
JLF-TM-8 can do; JLF-TM-8T, JLF-TM-8T-SK, JLF-TM-8S, JLF-TM-8S-SK.
You can use any of those.
Thank you so much thats exactly what I needed

I grew up playing on Happs. Once I started playing on Sanwa I realized how precise they were. After that, it was difficult to go back to Happs. Like people have already mentioned, it does feel foreign at first, but one you adjust it’s great. I even tried to use the octo gates on my Sanwa sticks trying to compensate at first and realized it was crap, so I went back to square. Play Sanwa how it was meant to be played in the arcade and you won’t regret it. Plus, they are nicer to look at too.

My personal description? It’s like F1 vs nascar. They both do the same thing with different levels of precision.
Racing around in circles is entirely different than driving in a curvy and complex course.
The type of race, or where you race doesn’t change the fact that they’re both cars, just like these are both joysticks. But if you want to take the conversation that way I could just say playing pacman is entirely different than the curvy and complex moves in fighting games.
Racing on water is different than racing on land, and racing in the air is different than both. A circle is a circle, a square is a square, a square can’t be a circle, and a circle can’t be a square.
That’s just like, your opinion, man.
It’s all subjective…
Use what you feel comfortable with and damn the online/real world popularity contests.
Half the people are only using Sanwa because a) they think it’s better than anything; b) they’re too afraid to take chances and try something and don’t know any better; and c) they’re poor or too cheap to buy new parts.
c) is a point I can sympathize with unless you’re old enough to get your own job and have time to make money without neglecting school work and other obligations… a) and b) I still shake my head over…
I’ve played with hardware from 3-4 different companies and know what I prefer. It’s also not a sin to mix-and-match hardware, either…
