Total this was all $96  :dizzy: before shipping.  I started with just the joystick and kept adding to it hoping I'd like the feel, but never did.  Didn't know at first, but I like the clicky.

This had really minimal use.  PM and we can discuss price, as I know I not many may want the long shaft or harness.  I eventually routed like many here said to do.

Oh and the harness has some quick disconnects smashed to hold on.  Can cut them off if you want to, otherwise they are free  ;D

I've been looking at these and the groovygamegear OMNI2 for my Blast City cabinet.  What was it that you didn't like about this?  I currently have SANWA  8 way joysticks installed in mine.

If you don't play 4 way games, then stick with the Sanwa.  I like the feel of the Omni2, mainly the click of the microswitches.  Now don't get me wrong the u360 is still a great product and I probably should have stuck with it, but figured I'd be able to sell it easily.  The lack of the click was what got to me, but I'm sure I would have gotten used to it.

u360 was my first stick, but I never routed out my wood, so I then ordered the longer shaft.  The throw was too long with it.  If I don't sell it, I'll put the normal shaft back on and put it into a future cabinet.

You can install microswitches in a U360 to get the click, but that doesn't do much for your throw distance…

That's interesting.  But just adds to the cost of the thing.  So I'd rather sell first if possible.

I've gotten a router since, so no issues with putting the base shaft on.

Could even put it into a bartop or something for my old man.  He's got a little game room.  But may be more hassle than it's worth.

Thank you for your input.  I've been looking at these 2 sticks because I've been playing Ms Pacman, and it just doesn't seem to work that well with the current setup.  Would switching to a 4 way mode joystick fix that?  I'm running GroovyMAME, by the way.

Yea u360 will switch automatically between 4 and 8 way through software and the Omni2 has a switch on the bottom to do that.   
Some members here have rigged their Omni2s with servos that can switch modes based on the game.  Something I plan on working on when I get time.

You can read all about this in many other threads that probably explain it way better than I have.
