Et j'ai pas traduit pasque j'ai tout compris lol! Si moi je comprends, les autres se demerdent, je suis une bouse quand même en anglais: (attention y'a beaucoup)
\STICKS \
1.Fanta Stick (MyungShin)
These make up for probably 90% of sticks used in korean arcades. These are good sticks, and since it's completely round and has no corners on rotation, it shouldn't be hard to adapt to. The recent batches of Fantas have been coming out with light blue microswitches (by Deco), instead of the usual brown/black (brown and black are exactly the same, made by LG/=Gersung). After some on spot testing, I found these Deco switches to be a horrible match for Fanta sticks, since hitting corners right was so much harder than the brown switches. I'll just grab the ones with LG microswitches.

2.Crown square actuator
This stick was new to me, but from on-site testing, this one had light resistence and it found corners very good. I haven't played on it yet. I gotta play on it tomorrow then. I'm putting so much time into this thing...

3.Crown round actuator
This one used to be pretty stiff with WONWOO microswitches in the past, but ever since they changed to Deco microswitches, they seem to be light enough. Seems to get corner inputs alright. This stick is NOT popular in the arcades though. I still got a sample for ya'll.

Here's a size comparison of different sticks

If you want a shaft with a color other than red or green, it probably won't happen. Although I could try to find some real old cabinet with sticks that have orange/black shaft in them and try to swap the shaft with the new one IF they match, you'll have to convince me pretty good to go into that trouble. ;)

\BUTTONS\
1.Crown Snap-on
I like these buttons a lot. These snap onto the Crown cabinets, and the the panel it mounts to has to be 11mm, and the hole is 28mm in diameter. Flat top. The pictures explain it all.

2.Crown Snap-on/Screw-on
These can be snap-ons as well as screw-ons. The button quality is just as good as the snap on. I think it snaps to 2 different thicknesses, if you look closely at the profile view. This would work for mounting directly on the plexi as well as any wood. Flat top.

3.Crown Illuminating Buttons
These buttons are just for kicks. It uses a Deco microswitch for the input and 12v for the bulb. Flat top. These light up when you press them. Look

These are tipical start-button-size buttons using switches. 24mm for the hole, I think. Convex top

For those confused about the Korean stick feeling, heres a compilation of posts of mine from TZ & SRK:
(note: TZ est le forum mondial de tekken, donc une référence, où aussi bien les japonnais que les coréens y post, autant que des Américains, ou des Européens. SRK pour Shoryuken, un forum assez connu je pense)
The best buttons to use are the ones made by Crown specifically for use on their cabs. They cost about 50 cents each, all have black rims, and the colors that I always see are red, blue, and yellow. These are snap-ons that mounts onto 11mm thick panels, the button hole is 28mm in diameter, and the buttons have flat top with rounded edges. The best korean buttons around for sure. There's a screw-on (nuts and bolts) type that's not as good as the Crown snap-ons performance wise, just acceptable quality.
In terms of stick construction, there are some Crown sticks that press the microswitches directly with a square plastic at the end of the metal shaft, like competition. I just need a camera with me tomorrow to just show all these.
The hole for the stick is either 36mm or 37mm in diameter, and the panel for the stick could be up to 15mm thick. The metal plate on which the stick gets screwed, is 81.5mm x 65.5mm
Moi j'ai trois joysticks coréens: Le fanta noir qu'il y'a de base sur le saulabi, le même mais en vert comme ceux de kenj (ca fait plus borne d'arcade je trouve) et un Crown avec un "square actuator" de couleur pourpre. Mais j'aime pas trop...
