Does anyone know what are the current readily available analog arcade joysticks? I'm looking to upgrade one of my 2 person cabinets with analog sticks to play Madden PC. I've seen the Ultimarc and was wondering if there are any other options. Thanks in advance. |

Happ, but they are expensive: http://na.suzohapp.com/wp/search.p?SECTION=ALL&SEARCH_TXT=Analog+joystick&Search=GO Check eBay too for slightly lower prices on a very limited choice of analog joysticks. |

I just spent a lot of time looking for analog arcade joysticks for an xbox360 control panel. There pretty much isn't anything out there except the Happ ones and similarly priced industrial ones. http://na.suzohapp.com/all_catalogs/joysticks/50-2875-00 I'd recommend getting the 100k version if you go that route, but I have a feeling that the price of the u360 is going to be a lot more attractive to you. Unfortunately, it wouldn't work for my purpose. Seimitsu had a nice 10k one in their brochure once upon a time, but no one seems to have ever seen one in real life. We had multiple people checking with distributors and repair shops in Japan and never came across a single one or part for one. These little guys used on the Quasimoto control panels turn up occasionally. I ended up using ALPS 2D 10k joysticks purchased from ebay and making adapters to fit them with Sanwa bat-tops. They are pretty small and the springs in them are light. I don't think it would hold up to arcade style use. We ended up going with them because they were already bought and paid for.

I bought a single player quasimoto with those same analog sticks 10 years ago. They are fragile. I mean like can't stand any abuse fragile. I replaced the cheap 8 way with a sanwa jlf and use it to this day as my PC mame controller. Edit - sentence structure. |

Holy Holy, those are expensive. Am I right to assume that the Ultimarc is an analog stick? http://www.ultimarc.com/ultrastik_info.html why are the other options so much more expen$ive? Thanks for the info. Looks like its the Ultrastik 360 for 60 bucks for me. Time to start saving those quarters to pay for it. |
