When you are done reading the wiki, read it a few more times and then when you are done with that read saint's book and then read as many project threads as you can. Also, whatever you decide you will most likely want to change at some point in the future! There are many differences between all types of joysticks and buttons and most of them come down to personal preference. You will need a keyboard encoder (iPac or Keywiz are the popular ones). :cheers: |

Everybody has an opinion and there are eleventy "What is the best joystick" threads that you can read. First question, though, is what kind of games do you want to play ? Are you a classic fan who would want a Wico leaf stick ? Are you a fighter guy who is worried about hitting diagonals ? etc. |

Yeah I've definately read the main page a couple times, there were just some things that weren't made crystal clear, at least to me. Its taken me a while to kinda put some things together on my own, espescially since the main page seems like its a little outdated (though still a good resource, not complaining). Like for instance I knew I needed a keyboard controller, but I didn't now that that was what an I-Pac was and that I-Pac 2 was for two playes and I-Pac 4 was four players. Seems simple but little things like that I kinda had to piece together myself. Anywho... I'm not a huge fighter guy, but would still certainly like to play them, and have them work properly too lol. It just seems like theres only 1 or 2 dollars between costs of the different joysticks (Ultimate, Super, Competition, etc) is there one that is just superior? I have a feeling its all just preference. Appreciate all the help anyways guys! Cheers. |

You can spend a lot more on joysticks if you want. The U360 is a popular recommendation for the guy who wants one stick to do everything. |
