I feel your pain on this one man. In my first build I used all 8 way sticks and found it extremely annoying to use on 4 way games (pac man / donkey kong) so much so that I didn't even want to play them. My latest build I used a Happ Ms Pacman/Galaga reproduction for a metal control panel. If you have any skill with a router this stick can be mounted flush in a 3/4 piece of wood using the metal joystick plate. I did this on mine and couldn't be happier. I will attach some pics soon of the cab and the joystick. I debated for a long time on whether to get a Tornado Terry balltop for wood panels and was really worried about the dead area people are speaking of. It makes a difference in the feel and gameplay when you have to go an extra 1/4 of an inch to hit left or right. |

The dead area killed it for me. I bought two based on DeLuSioNal29's recommendation (and even had one donated to one of our competitions) and I was extremely disappointed. Glad he likes his, but I can't get past the dead zone on it. |

I also forgot to mention that I also tried GGG's super joystick with the 4-way restrictor mentioned above and it didn't quite work the way I had hoped. |

that's why i'm telling you guys, you can't beat a JLW for a 4way stick. I have one currently bottom mounted in a 3/4" panel, it is may seem a little short, it still feels very good. there is approximately 3/4" from the panel to the bottom of the ball, and it is approximately 2" to the top of the ball. i think i am going to use a router to top mount it when i build my new panel, but it works just fine bottom mounted. |

I plan on getting one for a future project. At least I've got the U360s for now. |
