I slapped this together with parts I had laying around, the stick is a HAPP from a big red and the buttons are SANWA, best from both worlds :-)

I will let this go cheap because the housing is a damn carton box :D

To a good home for 15€

why was the stick positioned so low relative to the buttons?

That is the only layout I found to work with this small cardboard box, had I positioned the stick above the buttons, then I would not have had enough space for my hand to rest, and they did not fit side by side.

The stick will most likely go to krautcroissant, he was the first to express interest via PM.

Great stick...this new generation of stick builders put too much effort into sticks. I remember just putting happ parts in any wooden box I could get my hands on.

Guess it's lightly used, too. Otherwise the stick would get torn off the cardboard. This is perfect to curb people off button mashing. XD

Granted, it is a bit wobbly, what else would you expect from cardboard? But perfectly usable if you are gentle.
