New Era Video 2/4/8 way joystick
quibobjinn:
I have considered it (the basic version) but haven't looked into whether a)it needs to be top mounted and b)what the height on the shaft is. I'm poor in the tool category (no router or reciprocating saw) so I need to bottom mount a "tall" stick becuase I'm using 3/4" MDF(this is the other issue with the t-sticks, I'd have to completely redo my CP.) Also, this joystick looks VERY similar to the one I already use...with the omni-stick I'd have to get two for aesthetic(sp?) reasons.
Also, I think other ppl have asked about these sticks and noone seems to have answered...perhaps I should take one for the team...at least then we'll know... ;)
What I'm thinking about doing is just getting a dedicated 4-way and adding it as a 3rd joystick on the CP...still it would be nice to have a switchable.
Any more takers before I take the plunge?

I just got a 3rd stick for 4 way games. Looks like all the possible alternatives have been suggested here, so if you're not convinced otherwise yet, go for it and please do post the results, as I'm pretty curious about this other stick.

One thing to realize on that stick from ebay, you'll have to open up your control panel, unscrew the restrictor plate, rotate it and screw it back on EACH TIME you want to switch from 2/4/8 way. I think those type of joysticks are mainly meant to be put in one of the modes and left like that.
I have the 2 tstick-pluses with the ball tops. They are pretty decent, although they aren't the greatest for fighters but they are a good comprimise for 4/8 way switchable.

I have a 3/4" with the t-stik plus's bottom mounted.
