I have used them in my cab for the past 3 years and have few problems. The only issue I can think of that I have ever had, is once in a while "up" on player one doesn't respond as quick. However given that P2 never has that problem and is the same kind of stick, but seldom used, it might just be wear. Also it might just be the fact that my CP needs to be rebuilt as P1's joystick mounting is getting loose, and the holes are getting stripped out. I agree that the feel is a bit mechanical, but I have no complaints about them. |

The ones Ultimarc used were very stiff, I replaced it with ones that actuate closer to the Cherry pressure (50 gram?). I've just recently acquired even lighter microswitches (20 gram) that I'm planning on replacing to see if I can make it even more responsive/lighter touch. Here's a write-up I did on my mod: http://www.togeo.com/togeo/wordpress/?p=67 Thanks. --- End quote --- I just ordered 2 magstick+ ball tops for my vertical cocktail and found the same stiff switch problem. After reading this post I borrowed switches from the zippys I originally had in there (I trimmed the actuators with heavy duty tin snips) and am really very impressed with the difference! Thanks for the great link and tutorial! |

We will shortly be changing the switches we use on these from the SAIA switches to an alternative, which have 4.8mm connectors. These are slightly lighter spring pressure but also do not have the slight "spongy" feel that the SAIA switches have. We have found if too-light switches are used, the stick does not return to center properly so have researched the best pressure. |

I love my mag stik plus sticks. It's horses for courses. Some people love them, some hate them. Personally I wouldn't swap them for anything. |
