YAY ! p360 on sale again 0_0
Witchboard:
So does that mean you can get a raincheck for the P360s or are they not accepting any more orders at the sale price?

Well, since I duped this topic I'll take time and respond to the various questions here on the P360...
Yes, that is a good price. Most on the forum consider these the top model to purchase for most purposes; mainly for fighters or general purpose. Howerver, I use them for almost all of my sticks including the 4-way (the dead diagonals really don't show up on this guy that much). I'm now considering getting some more and frankensteining a top-fire and optical rotary with these since the price is right.
There are 4 terminal contacts on the bottom and two wires soldered to the optic board. The 4 contacts are up/down/left/right and hook right to your keyboard encoder (hagstrom, ipac, etc.). The other two are GND and +5V that needs a power source. The 5V from your power supply is ideal I wouldn't drag this off another encoder or other supply that comes from the USB chain. Safe best to wire directly to the PS you use.
Not sure which machines these come stock on, but more than likely any current game that isn't using leaf switches (yeah right) that don't click are probably these or another optical pickup style stick.
I bought 3 of these less than 6 days ago, and I've got a call into happs refund center to see if they'll give me a refund of the difference. Will update when I hear back tomorrow.

Don't arcade versions of KI and KI2 use optical sticks?

Nope! (This is coming from a former KI2 owner)

They may be good for fighting games, but don't they suck hard core for classic 4-way games? I neeeeeeeeed my Ms. Pacman.

If anyone can advise me, a UK-based person, on how to order these I'd be very grateful.

unfortunately there is only US prices on the website.
suggest you call Happ UK sales directly for a quote (contact details on the website) or email donna in sales dept at donna@happcontrols.co.uk - note you might have to remind them that they are on offer on the website.
sometimes they do honour US sales items - however don't expect a direct conversion from US to UK prices.
I considered getting a Vision Pro monitor from them last month that was on sale - the price they said they could let me have was nearly equivalent of $1 =
