Anyone use it? I'm still trying to decide between this and the T-Stik Plus.

Please help! Any opinions are greatly appreciated!

I've got a prodigy and I love it. Takes less than a second to switch from 8 way to 4 way. Has a nice short throw which I like. It has microswitches, but they're not terribly loud. It's a great joystick IMO.

Seeing as how you can game until you die with either stick, it looks pretty win-win to me whichever you order.  Flip a coin and order it up.
Paul Olson:
The T-stick plus is excellent for 4/8 way switching, but I don't like the feel with the switches that come with it.  I replaced them with Cherrys, and it is fantastic!!!

I still can't get friends to use it on fighters though, they like the Happ Competions.

I vote for the OmniStick's. I've got 3 in my panel, 1 being a dedicated 4-way. The 4-way is AMAZING for PAC games, the short throw gives you incredible control with a ball-top feel.  ;D
I tried switching it with an NOS Wico 4-way leaf and it just didn't compare, it went back in the box.
Never tried the Prodigy but if you're short on CP space it looks like a good option. It's actually cheaper to buy 2 regular Omni's though and set one for 8-way and one for 4-way if you've got the room.

Paul,

Did you use regular Cherry switches, or did you get the type with the actuators?  I've got extra standard Cherry switches begging to go on my t-stik plus, but don't want to put them on there to find that they don't hit just right on the diagonals over time.

Thanks

Coleman
