Joystick Mechanisms
Just a fun-filled list of joystick mounts for easy fact finding.
Seimitsu
Seimitsu sticks to two mounting patterns, for the most part. Either a 50mm square, or 40mm.
They're sometimes sold with a choice of adaptor plate, sometimes there's no choice. Sometimes, for special editions (or their NOBI stick) the adaptor plate has a sticker on it that needs to be removed if the adaptor plate doesn't fit your intended panel.
Generally speaking all their adaptor plates are compatible with the stick mechs, so if you have a 40mm stick, any of their P=40 plates will work.
Their entire catalogue of available plates (in 2023) is available on the Adaptor Plates page.

SNK
SNK's home consoles used Seimitsu mechs (or clones of them) with a 40mm pattern.
Sanwa
Sanwa uses 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 vertical and horizontal axes.
