-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.
+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.
+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.

 ===== Nintendo =====
 Back in the 80s, with Donkey Kong and Popeye, the Vs cabinets, and even R-Type (which Nintendo distributed in North America) Nintendo used an all-metal joystick that was small, clicky, had an incredibly short throw, and a very short shaft.  I love the thing to pieces, but it's difficult to use in a modern cab due to its very shallow mounting depth.
+The following diagrams were made based on manual measurements, so if you use them and your world ends, well, oops.  Maybe double check them first.
