--- Quote from: kmack1023 on February 11, 2014, 12:26:04 pm ---I saw the discussion about someone wondering if they should buy 4 U360s as opposed to another joystick for P3 and P4. 

I didn't want to hijack his thread so I started my own...  What's the difference between a U360 and other 4way/8way sticks?  I just bought myself a U360 and several buttons to kind of tinker with and get a feel for what it's like to build a cabinet... I plan to just toss the devices onto a plain ol' wooden box mockup with a friend to help with the woodworking... figured this experiment could help me in several ways... the electronics, woodworking, mame configurations, etc...

thoughts?  advice? (and answers to the question about U360s vs other sticks)

You guys are awesome.... you seem very helpful and friendly to everyone who comes here, if you can take the criticism constructively... ;)

I like the u360, the remapping is really handy...  But personally (and maybe it's just the games I'm interested in) I never found a need to have a u360 in more than the P1 spot...  Anything I play that has more than 1 player is like fighting, shmup, scrolling beat-em-ups, etc. which a good 8 way is just fine for...  But the stuff that takes advantage of the remapping is usually just in the P1 spot...

Without some steering wheels, you need some analogue. It's not ideal, but sometimes it's the only way to play things like super sprint or other racing games.

I said before in the other thread though, I love the clicky feel of microswitched joysticks. It's just what I'm used to, growing up in north america in the 80's and early 90's... it's pretty much all we had for most games.

Understood...  Like I said, it could just be the games I tend to play on it...  And I don't really play things like racing games on my cab, so...  :)

@EMDB
I just read the thread about your program. Did I read it correctly when it said you don't have support to switch to analog? Is it only directional support? If so, that doesn't work for me.
