: I figured out my first problem. I was just wondering which is recommended between cherry switches and metal switches.

: Thank you

I'm waitin on parts to build my on stick, and I havent quite decided which stick I am going to use either. But I have played on both of the sticks you mention, and fixed both of them in arcades. The metal switches you speak of(anyone can correct me if I am wrong) are actually like metal slips on the sides of the microswitch that the stick presses on. And what you do is just bend them to whatever feels best. These sticks do come out of alignment but you can just rebend the metal thing till it works properly or replace it. I am still personally debating which stick to buy for my setup, but I am 80% sure I will buy a perfect 360 from happs or wico. Even though ppl say they are bad for fighting games because its hard to find the diagonals on them because they are so precise. I shall adjust to it...
Also, if anyone could tell me if there is any difference in wiring the happs 360 to a dc or psx pcb I would greatly appreciate it.
