I just tried it and I agree, QBert is more playable on a U360 than a Happ Comp, entirely because of the size of the diagonals. But the point stands that you CAN use a standard 8-way stick for QBert. The U360 is a great stick precisely because it's quite flexible, BUT the price you pay for that (besides $$) is it's a compromise for nearly every game. I mostly play platformers and shumps, and for those I went with Happ Comps; this way for the vast majority of what I play I'm not compromising feel for flexibility. I've been through pretty much every accessory for the U360 and have never been happy with it; I realize I'm in the minority but in the interest of being "one stick to rule them all" it fails to do anything well IMO. The OP has to decide how many of the edge cases (i.e. stuff that doesn't work well with a standard stick) are important enough to warrant spending considerably more money for U360s or any of the other specialty/switchable/etc controllers, and possibly trading off some feel for the majority of games.

It doesnt matter what controller you use to play Q-Bert... In the end, your probably going to want to use a Sledgehammer instead :timebomb: ;D :lol |

I always thought U360s were manipulating physical restrictions via software. Now I learn it's just customizing how it reads your inputs? No wonder people are constantly selling these things "barely used." Might as well play with the thumbstick on my Xbox controller. |

When they first came out, they were all the rage here but it seems to have dulled out a bit. |
