FS: NOS/NIB Wico Micro-Switch Joysticks / CA-USA SOLD OUT

[Pixelhugger]

I joined this forum just to inquire about these sticks!

I had gotten a pair of Happ Ultimate Joysticks for fairly cheap with some buttons through an eBay deal, and unfortunately, while the sticks seemed durable and high-quality, they seem to be terrible at diagonals. I even did some internet research and discovered that this is sort of unanimous among the forum posts I've seen. Some had advised the IL Competition Joystick instead but those seem to be hard to come by these days.

So my question is, are these joysticks you are selling considered better or on par with the IL Competition Joysticks? I'll buy two in a second if they fare well with fighters. Thanks!

Hmmmm. Not sure about the fighters. My take is that people usually play fighters with bat top sticks. I don't have any IL sticks to compare. Anyone else able to chime in? Yotsuya?

I've got 4 of these on my MAME cab now (bought from Pixelhugger), and I really like them for fighters.  I consider them a great all-around stick.

Hey, I've decided to buy two of your joysticks...however I can't send any PMs yet. Should I shoot you an email instead?

[Pixelhugger]

Yes. Email me at mitch@stitchediting.tv.

[noapparentfunction]

I shot you over an email on Friday. Let me know if you never got it. I'll send one more to confirm.

Can Anyone Tell Me If These Are Good On Games Like Dig Dug,Pacman,Etc...
You Know The  Classic Up/Down/Side To Side Games?

Only if you can find the proper 4-way actuator. They come with an 8-way square actuator.
On the instructions, they show a round one available for 4-way directional control.

You can ask around if anybody may have some or you could experiment with a lathe, but it may not be worth the effort. These are great ultra rugged joysticks for 8-way action and I like them a LOT!

Cheers!

These are pretty good 8-way sticks, but they are not suited for 4-way action at all. You are better off with the Namco Reunion stick or the Happ Universal if you want a nice crisp 4-way. The path of movement on these isn't even close to being suitable for 4-way games.
