Ultra Stik 360 rotary function

Pages: (1/1)

IconicDave:

Does the rotary function (when added) cause any issues using the stick as a normal joystick? I would think no, but just trying to satisfy my curiosity. Thanks for your time.

PL1:

Another thing to consider is that the U360 rotary upgrade is an optical (non-clicky) control, not a mechanical (clicky) control.

AFAIK only five games used an optical rotary stick -- Caliber .50, Exterminator, Fighting Soccer, Touchdown Fever, and Touchdown Fever II.

Users have reported that not having the "clicky" detents makes it harder to reliably control the mechanical rotary stick games like Ikari Warriors.

I still have rotary mod for U360 and games like Ikari Warriors are in my opinion unplayable.

However I've bought recently (still didn't arrived) from tsticks GRS Super Joystick. Promises clicky rotarion and arcade faithfull experience.

IconicDave:

Points well taken. Would it be worth it to add the GRS somewhere else on the CP? I like Ikari and Heavy Barrel and games like that, but I'm going to use the U360 as my main sticks.

haynor666:

I've received yesterday my GRS. So far I made it correctly set up for couple of games.

It's worth to mention that GRS can set up for some Taito games that uses joystick directions for rotating like Front Line. Just like spinner from Thunderstick it also has push/pull option on joystick which again can be used in Front Line.
