I agree, i felt like the 360 degree optical part worked well. I loved the fact that it didn't make clicking noises, but the stick was too rigid for me. I actually felt my wrists and hands feeling fatigued when i would play games for a half hour or more. I would have to take fairly regular breaks or my wrists would be killing me. If one could swap out the springs so they weren't so damn stuff , i think that would help ALOT.
I was curious at how the wico opticals that i see on ebay from time to time compared with the happs. To me i guess if i choosing between getting a p36o or not, i would have to pass. For one, they are EXPENSIVE and Two, their rigidity. On the plus side, i thought that the super did EXTREMELY well for 4 way type games like pacman. I had no trouble playing those kinds of games whatsoever.
If your a hardcore streetfighter fan, go get yourself some HAPP COMPETITION sticks from
www.therealbobroberts.com . They are real cheap there and in MY oppinion i felt like the competition sticks felt the most like the original street fighter 2 game i played 11 years ago in the arcade. I spent ALOT of time and money now on trying to find which stick felt to me like the original sf2 arcade game i played at my local bowling alley so long ago and the comps felt the most responsive for some reason.
Hope this all helps in some form or other lol.
