Best "all purpose" 8 way?
shponglefan:
I like the Seimitsu LS-32. While it's not the greatest for fighting games, it's great for shmups, platformers and beat-em-ups.
Slugworth:
What about the Happs Perfect 360? I don't know how I missed these in my original screening, but they seem to be a good "all purpose" joystick. Is it really just the cost that is off-putting?

Happ Supers only come in black, but the IL Compact (IL version of the same stick) comes in different colors.
One mod that works well on the Happ Super/IL Compact sticks is the LS-32/zippyy switch upgrade -- lower force to actuatie the switch and less noisy. ;D
The only "downside" is when you push the joystick one direction and release it, the centering spring can cause the actuator to overshoot and momentarily actuate the opposite direction.

That's true for the Competition joystick as well.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I think i go with the Happ competitions for now, and if I'm not happy with them I'll upgrade to the ultimarcs or the p360. Figure at $12 a pop there isn't much downside to trying them out.
