Perhaps $25 is a lot of money, but these things (NOS) go for ridiculous prices.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for posting that auction link.  I have been looking for 4-ways for a YEAR.  Awesome.  Post this as it's own topic and that guy will be sold out in 24 hours.  Glad I got mine already :)

Yeah I was jumping for joy too! I'm pretty amazed that he has only sold 6 so far (inlcuding the 2 I ordered)! Really, people were paying $36 to $40 for these things over the last weeks. As far as I know they are brand new (well "old new", but still) and $25 is hardly more than you'd pay for one of those crummy chinese clones you see so often.

Well, I'm fairly satisfied with the super with the balltop on it, other than the fact that it's not a true 4-way.  I'm going to try an ultimarc t-stick plus, and a mini-pac and ultimarc trackball while I'm at it.  Jeez, I've got 3 different kinds of joysticks on my CP right now (including a true 4 way), and none of them is really doing the job for Ms. Pac-Man.  The 4-way has a tight action, but the tiny bat handle hurts.  If the super was a 4-way, it would be about perfect.

Really, you need to try a true Wico leaf stick ... it's the only way to get perfection  ;D

I can relate on the number of sticks though. I have about 6 different sticks (still 2 more on the way and 1 still to be ordered) and I don't even have a cab yet ::) It's sad that you never know which one will suit you best till you tried them all. That kinda sux. Allthough it is fun trying them all out  :P

So far I like the T-stick+ and Wico leafs (or microleafs) best, but apparently that preference is rather personal (I see other people hating the short throw of the T sticks) so there goes.

1up - I have an actual Pac-Man stick that I'd be willing to part with...let me know what you have to trade.
