nice model, that aims for the imitation of the arcade ones.
JOKE: maybe some gay guy enjoyed those more than the average gamer!: :P
flyguille: Whahahaha
Yes they look like real arcade joysticks, but those ones are very good.
Suzo still make those arcade joysticks, but only for the arcade machine enc.
official sega megadrive 6 button pad with joymega adapter by roadfighter
This plays fantastic!, i'd say its the perfect joypad
I love this dpad but, where can you find nowadays a NEW 6-button pad official from Sega? All I found are clones (as Dealxtreme ones) or if they are official they are used, not new.

I see your Suzo Arcade and raise it to an Arcade Turbo!
Although I mostly play(ed) with keyboard....
@snout: I got that one as well.. if I only knew where I put it.
Anyway I didnt liked it that much. I know its a classic and all, but I felt the design was awkward to use. In games, I got way better results with keyboard. (and I do know how to play with decent joysticks)
@AxelStone: I dont know where I can find those for a reasonal price. I found a new one a few days ago at some japanese webshop I think, it was 150 dollars..
I think the cheapest/best solution would be to get a second hand one that is in decent shape. If I am correct you can use those from DX.com as spare parts (mainly the rubber thingies on the inside), although I am not 100% sure about that.. maybe I'll get a few of those to test 
Anyway if you find some new official sega ones for a decent price, let me know, I want one for player 2 and a few reserve ones. (the one I have is about 15 years old if not more, but in very good shape, I bought it when Mortal Kombat came out for the Megadrive)
