You can look forward to a little bit more difficult hookup with the P360s, and a lot more money (I was making a 4P panel so they were out of the question). The clicking sound is kind of annoying though. I think between that and the Supers bouncing around a lot, the P360s might be on my buy list in the near future.
What I'd be interested to hear is, how many people got other kinds of joysticks just to save money over getting the P360s, but ended up changing their minds later and getting the 360s because they're so much better? (thus spending more money rather than saving it?) cuz I think that's where I'll be soon.

That would be me... But, I can't really help you because my first sticks were ultimates ::)...
eightbit:
Who has the sound on the game turned down low enough to hear the clicking of the sticks? Most arcade sticks click. Turn the game up and you'll never notice the clicking. Its true the old school sticks didn't click, they were leafswitches. They also required frequent maintenance like cleaning and adjusting. You can still get leaf switches if the clicking bothers you that much.
grafixmonkey:
I hear the clicking quite a bit. It's actually pretty loud, unless the volume is up high enough to disturb the other parts of the house while I'm playing. It's worst when I've got four people on it at once - it really adds up with more players.
I think it's partly because the joystick is mounted in wood. Something that clicks or vibrates has its sound amplified quite a bit when it's sitting against wood.
Lilwolf:
Comps and Horizontals are it..
but....
Supers are better (imho) for classics (especially timepilot, Gyruss ect). And you have a certain zen about playing fighters with them.... Why? You don't know where the corners are....
So you cant slam some moves in... you have some have some control.
....
but all in all... comps and 360s.... bad reviews for the ultimates...
And I hear the jsticks are great also
euclidean:
I have to been asking the same questions about joysticks. I am considering either the
1. Happ Competition Joysticks
Or
2. Ultimarc T-Stik Plus
The advantage I see with the T-Stick Plus is that there is a switch for 4/8 way. So playing those classics won't be a problem.
Does anyone have any comments on the comparisons of these two joysticks?
