U360 Joysticks
Los Abrazos Rotos:
I went for U360s but honestly, I'm not at all impressed with the way they feel and would never buy them again - I'm actually replacing them with standard 4/8 way switchable sticks. They just dont feel like arcade sticks to me ... I've mentioned it before but there is a serious mechanical problem with centering.
I would advise avoiding them!
arzoo:
My original cp had a 49-way joystick. Food Fight is a good example of why the 49-way cannot be used as an analog stick; entering your initials (after a game is over) requires throwing food at the specific letters of the alphabet arranged in a circle around your character. With the 49-way, it's impossible to hit all the letters. Eventually I switched to a u360 and now Food Fight plays perfectly!

Where was this thread a few months ago! Bought some U360s, ran into Los Abrazos Rotos' same issue with centering, and am a bit shook on the value/quality balance I signed on for...

For those of you who struggle with the U360's...did you install the stiffer springs? It makes a big difference.

I know I did install the stiffer springs... still seems to have some trouble centering about 25-30% of the time.
