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). |

I've done business with Jan at arcadeshop.de, he is a really good guy. http://www.arcadeshop.de 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.) - Mark |

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: http://www.togeo.com/togeo/wordpress/?p=67 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. |
