Hey Guys, I have the Mag-Stik Plus by Ultimarc. http://www.ultimarc.com/controls.html To me, if you want all purpose, this guy switches from 4 to 8 way very easily and has lasted me years. I'm putting my first pair, which were in my cocktail machine I made ten years ago, into a cocktail I'm going to build next. Never had a problem with them, ever. |

Think "WICO Leaf" but better (yes, I went there :) ) --- End quote --- I'll believe when I see it. As to the original subject, I personally like comps but i think the supers are a little better all around. Of course when ever this best joystick question comes up, there are many answers because eveyone has preferences. For strictly 8 way, I love my Sanwa JLW with cherries, round gate and heavier spring. Not the cheapest but it feels great. I really can't stand the square gates for 8 way. I'm also experimenting with a Crown joystick which uses a rubber centering grommet. I just wish the grommet was a little stiffer. |

If you play a lot of fighting games, these are modified Competition sticks that have gold switches with a different actuation point and heavier springs. Better for hitting diagonals. They were modified for Williams for Mortal Kombat games. I love them. http://na.suzohapp.com/all_catalogs/joysticks/50-6071-16 |

The shaft hits the plastic surround well before actually flexing the rubber much. Very different feel from the original rubber-to-steel bonded grommet based sticks. |
