If you have used P-360s read me please.

I need to know if I should get these or not.

Yes, there are reviews out there for them, but they don't realy address how they work on the many different types of actions you need to make with the joystick, specificly I'm talking things like fireballs and many others that are better done on some joysticks rather than others.

Is there a specific type of game that these would be "not-so-good for?"  I'm planning on getting restrictors for them, so problems related to 4-way usefulness I don't realy need to know, but you can throw it in anyway (in case someone wants these, but not restrictors).

As usual, feel free to add whatever else information you think might be useful

If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

I p360s for every type of game out there.  out of all the sticks i have I find them to be the ones I like using most.  There isn't a game they don't work well for.

Yes its great except the happs p360 is a bit TOO tight :-\
Now I  use wico p360+happ super combo. This is the best setup I have ever used.

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.
