Joystick Suggestions
« on: January 23, 2012, 10:15:31 am »
I'm building a mame cabinet and getting ready to order my controls but I had a few questions for the pros about joysticks.  I know there are tons of opinions but I want either a u360 or some type of top switchable 4/8 way stick.  I have heard that the u360 will function as a 4-way by turning off the diagonals if you set it up to do that but I am having a hard time imagining how that would feel in real life.  Any recommendations.

I have both the U360s and Top switchables in my CP. If I had to choose between the 2 I'd have to take the U360s due to the feel and flexibility.

If you like sliding across the diaganols and hitting a solid direction go with a physically restricted joy.  This question has actaully been somewhat beat to death with reviews and similar posts.  This link is a good example of such a discussion.
