🕹️ Sanwa vs Seimitsu vs Crown/Samducksa — which do you prefer?

Each has a different feel:

🔵 Sanwa — light, responsive, and great for fast inputs
🔴 Seimitsu — precise, controlled, and crisp
🟣 Crown/Samducksa — stronger return-to-center with that distinctive Korean lever feel

There’s no single “best” joystick — it depends on the game and the feel you like.
