Mine has the "Euro" style handle. I was initially unsure about this, since I've never used one before. After using it a bit it's quickly becoming my favorite handle shape as far as usability goes. -S |

You know, if the kids this thing is for are so young that they can't grasp the concept on how to change a T-Stick by pulling it up and rotating, I am sort of wondering if they are truely going to be able to grasp the difference between a 4way joy and an 8 way joy... I'd consider this if I were you. And if the kids are truely that young, they might not be able to feel or tell the difference between a 4 and 8 way joystick when they are playing, in which case you could just put in an 8 way and be done with it. The kids will never know the difference. Sounds like this age of kids probably don't even know that there ARE different types of joysticks... |

Well I can only speak for myself but I notice that I am using an 8-way joystick when I am playing Pac-Man or Tutankam. I do even worse than I nomally do. I have ordered a 2/4/8-way joystick so hopefully I will notice the difference when it is set to 4-way mode. |

I played with my J-Stiks in 4-way mode for the first time the other day - did great in PacMan for a change :) I think an 8-way would be fine for the kids to play Galaga. Granted they will probably have a harder time playing PacMan etc. with an 8-way. I agree with Jakobud to an extent tho, how are the kids even going to know when to switch the stick? |
