The Super is cheaper and the bat handle will match your comps. The JLW-TM-8 is a "better" joystick and has that classic ball top look for 4 way games. |

Yea I had thought about that. Is the JLW-UM-8 with bat handle the same stick as the JLW-TM-8 just without the ball? And If i bought a super, could I put my red competition shaft in place of the black super one? |

Jammaboards.com sells this 4/8-way stick for $12 plus shipping. I have one in my panel, and it's worked fine: http://www.jammaboards.com/store/classic-arcade-joystick-8-way-to-4-way-switchable-/prod_282.html Be sure to completely tighten down the nut on the bottom of the stick once it's installed, otherwise the throw will be very clunky. |

Not sure how one could even make that statement, based on the supposed switching method (flipping the actuator on a square restriction). From the review someone left..." I keep it in 4-way all the time and it works great! The best part is you don't have to switch it back to 8-way to play those games...You can still get all the movement you need in 4-way mode! " That's gotta make you wonder...... RandyT |
