I did order them directly from WICO. I think they were about $15-$20. It has been a while. Give them a call. You do not have to be a business owner to order from them.

: Chad,
: As for the question...I was wondering if you ordered your sticks directly from WICO and how much they were? I would like to order some more leaf-switch sticks but WICO's webpage led me to believe that I had to be a business or a business owner if I was to place an order with them.
: -Thanks
: : I have installed two of the Wico leaf-style joysticks into my Mame cabinet. You can find the item here:
: : http://www.wicothesource.com/392.html - It is part number 15-968801.
: : I have always thought that leaf-style joysticks are superior to microswitch... mainly because most all of the classic games (pre 1985) used leaf-style instead of microswitch. Therefore, leaf-style is more authentic for the true classic gamer (plus the red ball on top is cool!)
: : I love the joysticks but I have one question. Is there anyway to make them looser? They are a bit stiff. I figured that time may have loosened them but it has been about 9 months and they are still pretty stiff.
: : Any tips would be appreciated.
: : Regards,
