 SNK's home consoles used Seimitsu mechs (or clones of them) with a 40mm pattern.  Shown below is a mech from a NeoGeo AES joystick (the original and CD sticks used the same mechs).  On the right, the same mechanism mounted to Seimitsu's 40mm plate included with the SELS-70X.
-These same mechs (or clones of them) were also used in sticks from Sigma and (IIRC) ASCII.

 ===== Sanwa =====
-Sanwa's JLF & JLX series' use two mount patterns: either a simple 65mm two-screw attachment, or a square pattern that's much smaller than Seimitsu's, and it's rotated 45 degrees.  Instead of having one screw on each diagonal, they're on the cardinal points.  The [[arcade:joystick_mechs#hori|Hori Hayabusa]] uses the same 4-way mount, but not the 65mm mount.

-The two 65mm holes are not threaded, and typically use a nut & bolt attachment.  The 4 central holes are threaded and use counter-sunk screws.

-Sanwa sticks are mounted deeper into the panel compared to Seimitsu sticks.  The top of a Seimitsu mech is ~3mm below the panel top, the Sanwa sticks are 12-16mm below the top of the panel.
+The two 65mm holes in both the JLX and JLF are not threaded, and typically use a nut & bolt attachment.
+The JLF 4-hole mounts are plastic and use self-tapping counter-sink screws to fix the mech to the plate. The JLX sticks however use threaded metal inserts, and so must use different screws than the JLF mechs.
+Sanwa sticks are mounted deeper into the panel compared to Seimitsu sticks.  The top of a Seimitsu mech is ~3mm below the panel top, the Sanwa sticks are ≥6mm below the top of the panel.
 Sanwa sticks use a raised central circle around the pivot, to allow for the pivot to rise vertically above the nominal surface of the stick.  It's critical to allow for this when mounting it, or the stick will not work properly.
