Does anyone know which joysticks utilize "square block" feels for the diagonals? These sticks are actually forced into a sharp corner at a diagonal, (as opposed to a smooth 360 feel), by, i believe (this might not apply to ALL the sticks...), microswitches that are mounted at a slight angle, which actually restricts the 360 free joystick movement into a somewhat square block, and therefore allows the diagonals to be _very_ well defined. Basically, it's impossible to ever miss a diagonal on these sticks. (I found this by looking at my old Revenger custom arcade sticks).

I've seen these sticks used on some (but not all) street fighter machines. Anyone know exactly which brand they are, and who sells them? I need to get a few of them.....

Someone mentioned they might be Happs supers, and the sales person I talked to said the super's switches are mounted at a slight angle to each other, so maybe these are what I need? Although I'm not completely sure...
