ULTIMARC ServoStik vs UltraStik 360 Ball Top with USB cable

[JOHN HOWARD]

has anyone had any experience with these sticks? I want to have a stick that can switch between 4 and 8 way so that the cabinet is as versitile as possible

If you need analog control, go U360, for instance to play star wars or driving games with the stick.  if you only care about 4-8 way digital, the servo stick is the way to go.

I noticed you had the U360 in your cab (very nice build btw) does it have the same feel as a classic joystick (almost like a click when you move it?)

The feedback is linear until you hit the restrictor.  There are no clicks because no switches are involved, the stick measures position with magnet/induction.  It is also a very light spring pressure returning to center compared to typical arcade sticks, although light, medium and heavy springs are available.  Search here on "U360 review"- there are some good reviews that were done a few years ago when the U360 came out. 

I like the u360 but if 4/8 way servo sticks were available when I built mine, I would have gone that way.  I have a dedicated analog trigger stick (flight stick) on a swap panel for the few times i need that.  If you like Q-bert a lot it's great due to a diagonal map you can use.
