Need opinions on joysticks and buttons
Donkbaca:
A lot if bad reviews for the magstick. But if you are playing mostly shmups and classics, the shirt through might not bother you.
I am also a fan of the x-arcade sticks, they too are happs super clones. They aren't truly switchable to 4-way though, like the super you have to turn the actuator over, which isn't a quick and easy thing to do, and there is no. physical restriction.
mgb:
Don't rely on any Happ sticks for 4-way, 8-way switching. its not on the fly and its not true 4-way restriction.
I love the Sanwa JLWs but they have to be accessed from underneith for switching.
Alot of guys love the u360s.

Now I'm just trying to figure out how I'm gonna mount them in 3/4" MDF.

awesome sticks.
you may need to route and top mount them. I've seen alot about that here on the forums.

Yeah I've been looking for a good tutorial. More has been written about mounting the JLF's, which have a MUCH wider mounting plate. The JLW's look very hard to mount into 3/4" MDF.
