Now that I only have a 4-way bartop, I am missing a lot of the 8 way games in MAME. Is there any decent 4-8 way switchable joystick that has come out recently? I had the ones from Ultimarc, but I didn't like them..too stiff. I haven't tried the Omni one yet. And no, I don't have room for another bartop :badmood: |

The Omnis from GGG are great sticks. You can automate them yourself pretty easily or hit up RandyT through PM and see if he'll put together a Robo kit for you if you ask nicely. They have a decent throw, feel good in both modes, and generally fit the bill for what you're looking for. RandyT even recently added the original Omni back up that is top-switchable. |

I thought I remembered seeing both shaft and spring options. |

They last me ten years in my cocktail, which I've now gutted and am reusing the Ultimarc sticks for my new bartop project. |

I have the Magstik Plus and in 4-way mode they are ok..albeit a very short throw. But they wouldn't work too well in 8 way for me at all. Two switches would be pressed at the same time sometimes. I think that's why stiffer switches were used. When i switched to softer switches, I ran into trouble. |
