Anyone use the mag stik plus?

I have it and it is officially the worst of the 4/8 way sticks in my opinion. While it is a nice way to switch between 4 and 8 way...the 8 way is terrible (imo) and the 4 way passable.  It feels mechanical and is bad for fighting games and platformers but ok for shmups.

I much prefer the JLW, even if I do have to adjust it from below...the 4 way and 8 way both feel and perform way better (imo).

You can buy T-Sticks at arcadeshop.de, but you need to modify them to be top switchable.

I've done business with Jan at arcadeshop.de, he is a really good guy.

I have both T-Sticks and Mag-Sticks. I have found that the Mag-Sticks are "corner happy", making it a bit harder to play Robotron. (To be fair, it might be possible to fix this issue, just by bending the switch levers a tiny bit.)

I've modified the switches in mine.  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:

Thanks.

What is the overall feeling on 4/8 way sticks?  I'm planning on trying to get two for a bartop, and it seems like the U360 is the go to for the best joystick, but I'd rather keep the cost down and get a more natural switch feel. 

Are there any good 4/8 way sticks?  Or does it make more sense to just have separate 8 way and separate 4 way sticks if needed/wanted?

it was the first stick i got, i thought the 8 way was passable and the 4 way useless for pac games.  now i have happ sticks for my main cab and a separate vertical cab with an original 4 way wico leaf switch joystick, nothing else is good enough in my opinion.  modern micro switch joysticks simply do not respond correctly.
