new to joysticks, do i really need to buy one for 27$ ?
WindDrake:
My 4-Player cab uses four IL Eurosticks (the Original Happ Competition stick) at $12 a piece. They are fantastic bat-top sticks if you like that kind of thing. I love them, and my guests are big fans.
My 2-Player cab uses two Happ mechanical Rotary Sticks (based on the Happ Super Joystick) that run ~$55/ea. Great sticks for beat-em-ups and rotary stick games. Not so great for fighters, but workable for everything else.
I just spent $100 putting two GGG Super-Pro's with Versaball2 shafts on my Multi-Williams, which lets me reproduce the playability the 80's Era Wico 8-Way Leaf Joysticks would have had.
It's all about preference.

You're just getting started,
get the Happ Super for $8.50
later on you may wanna upgrade but come on, for a casual player, the super is fine.
The Omni2 is no engineering marvel. Its a Sanwa knockoff with a few extra 6-32 screws and nuts and a plastic nub.

Zippyy is too loose IMO, but works well as a 4 way once you grind/burn those nubs off.
I grew up on Happs Ultimate. Probably why I like the XArcades...
PL1:
Also, remember to get the switch upgrade kit.
GGG offers them as an installed upgrade option when you buy the Zippyy sticks here.
Paradise Arcade offers them as a separate set here.
Used them to upgrade all my Zippyy and Happ Super sticks -- definitely an improvement IMHO.
