| SNK's home consoles used Seimitsu mechs (or clones of them) with a 40mm pattern. Shown below (left) is a mech from a NeoGeo AES joystick. Both the original cartridge system and CD sticks used the same mechs. The centre image shows the same mechanism mounted to Seimitsu's 40mm plate included with the SELS-70X. The image on the right shows a mech taken from a Sigma or ASCII stick (I forget which). | SNK's Neo Geo home consoles used Seimitsu LS-22 mechs (or clones of them, as they're unmarked) with a 40mm pattern. Shown below (left) is a mech from a Neo Geo AES joystick. Both the original cartridge system and CD sticks used the same mechs. The centre image shows the same mechanism mounted to Seimitsu's 40mm plate included with the SELS-70X. The image on the right shows a mech taken from a Sigma or ASCII stick (I forget which). It is clearly marked Seimitsu Co. Ltd, LS-22. |

| These same mechs (or clones of them) were also used in sticks from Sigma (The Σ-2200 definitely used a Seimitsu mech) and very early ASCII models. SNK also used these for their LS-30 'Loop Lever' rotating joysticks. | These same mechs (or clones of them) were also used in sticks from Sigma (The Σ-2200 definitely used a Seimitsu mech) and some early ASCII models, like the ones made for MSX computers, and the Nintendo Famicom. SNK's rotating Loop Lever, a Seimitsu LS-30, also used the same base. |

| 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. | 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.
