I'm about to order a couple of the Magstik Plus's from Ultimarc, apparently they're the only one available that's switchable from the top without a knob or a slide or anything?  At least that's what it says on their site.

I also have Eurosticks in my x-arcade and I really like them.  I purchased a Mag-stick plus for another project that I am about to start -- just be aware that the Mag-stick plus has a very short throw compared to the Eurosticks. 

I'm not saying its bad, just saying that it is a different feel.

I have not (yet) used the Mag-stick extensively -- I am sure there are others here who have used both extensively and can comment.
