Need opinions on joysticks and buttons
DataWest:
I'm looking forward to getting my 4 player control panel started soon. Wanted to ask you all some ?'s. I've heard good things about the J-Stik from ultimarc. I need a joystick that will switch from 4 to 8 way. Which ones are the best? And which buttons are the best? Haven't read good things about the newer happ ones.
*sorry I posted this in the wrong place last time.
DataWest:
Anybody?
I think I have my sticks narrowed down to these 2 options. Please let me know if any other 4-8 way switchable are better.

And the J-Stik scroll down a bit

Both of the sticks you listed are switchable but you have to do it from underneath the CP. The advantage of the mag stick plus is you do not have to open the control panel. Some people do not like the short throw of the MSP but I have them and have gotten used to the feel.

for switchable four ways, most people I would say go u360's, you can get a top mount restrictor for it now. Others sanwa jlw, which is what the jstick is. Don't know much about the omnistick. You probably only need 2 switchable ones, there are no 4 player 4 way games that I can think of
DataWest:
Thanks for the replies.
Yeah I should have been more specific. I am only buying the buttons and sticks for the 1 and 2 player right now. Cash is low LOL. Since player 3 and 4 only need 4 buttons and basic sticks Ill get them later.
Any comments on good pushbuttons?
