Help me choose joysticks for my new build
« on: April 13, 2022, 11:20:49 pm »
Hi All,

I'm about to embark on my first build, a 4P pedestal. I am stuck on trying to decide which sticks to use. I grew up playing in US arcades in the 90s, so I am leaning towards IL Euro sticks, as I am most familiar with the Happ-style bat top sticks. The only thing that gives me pause is that I'm going with a pretty beefy PC to ensure I can run some of the newer arcade-style games (Streets of Rage 4, Shredders Revenge (when it comes out), and newer fighters). This makes me wonder if I should consider an analog stick like the UltraStick 360. I don't really anticipate playing too many 4-way games, may build/acquire a dedicated cabinet for that at some point, so it would really be to get analog.

Do y'all think it's worth it to add the complication and expense? Given that it is my first build, and I'm already planning on doing some harder (for first timer) things like RGB buttons, I just don't know.

Thanks in advance!
