Joystick advice
« on: June 12, 2013, 11:38:37 pm »
Hey all!

I'm looking to find joysticks comparable to the ones on a killer instinct arcade cab. I'm not sure that there was anything special about these sticks but I really like the feel of them.



Looking on the ultimarc website I found a joystick that was called the J-Stick Oval-Top. It looks pretty similar but it says it's Japanese. Not sure what that entails. Is this stick close in quality/design?

What other sticks would you recommend?

Thanks!

Thanks for sharing.

I found this article comparing happ/IL to other Japanese sticks. Very interesting. If you're curious about the differences check it out.

I was thinking of trying both as well.
What's your take on not having a restrictor on the happ stick?
