Donkbaca:

Leaf sticks are a pain in the ass, P360's are the best sticks IMHO


Green Giant:

If you don't like them, then you probably don't have old balls.


There seems to be some sort of link between old balls and having a fanboy love of anything leaf.

Blanket statement.

P360s are very good sticks. But the best? Not for all games, sorry.
I wouldn't touch a P360 with a 10 foot pole for fighters, or shmups .

And no physical 4-way restriction?  Fffff-that! What's a pac-MAN to do??

Original Wico's for Robotron is where it's at. Sweet delicate leafs, sturdy low-bounce-back rubber grommit...and 4" shafts. :drool  that's the ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- right there son.
I'm a big supporter of playing games on the hardware they were made for.   All those conversion kit games can use whatever hardware, who cares...but for the dedicated games, nothing beats the original hardware.

You wouldn't touch it with a 10foot pole for fighters, despite the fact that it was the arcade stick of choice for late 90's fighters here in the US?


I am not a big fan boy for hardware.  I don't think there was much thought put into it, the reason that leaf sticks were used is because they were the only things they had around.

That being said, if you are going dedicated, go original hardware

The "microswitch" has been commercially available since 1937.  I guess 40 years wasn't long enough for the arcade manufacturers to catch wind of it  :P
