| 4-way joystick for x-arcade |

| Diet_Pepsi:
Thanks for all of the input! I'm not sure that I can go the authentic route -- I'm on thin ice with the wife as it is. She already doesn't understand why I am interested in this hobby and more parts would cause problems. I am flexible in terms of joystick feel and am happy with the joystick that I have now but what bothers me is the instability of the 8-way configuration in 4-way games. Would the Wico stick would be better than Terry's option? Spending an extra $20 doesn't really bother me as long as the value is there. |

Would this option fit? http://www.mikesarcade.com/cgi-bin/store.pl?sku=JOYRBLS4W8W |

Never mind -- they are out of stock. I've ordered the WICO and will let you know. Thanks again |

You won't be sorry. The Wico 4 way works great. Keep in mind you may need to adjust the leaf switches for optimum performance. The way to do it on a 4 way is, when going through the directions in a circular fashion, no 2 adjacent switches should be closed at the same time. So, while following the "diamond" restricted pattern, when one switch *just barely* opens, the next one should *just* close. That way you get the best sensitivity without 2 switches closing at the same time and screwing up input to the computer. |

I had some spare time this afternoon so I decided to open up my x-arcade dual to see what was in there. Can someone help to ID? I will post more updates once I receive the WICO. Thanks! |
