Ultimarc vs. Happ
Mah_Freend_Amee:
Hello, I am working on building my first cabinet and need to order the joysticks and buttons. I was wondering what people prefer the happ super or the T-stik plus. If I do order from Ultimarc i was wondering if the trackball there can be wired to the computer with an mouse hack instead of the opti-pac.

i havent used it yet but teh t-stick plus is going into my player 1 side for sure. the reviews on it are nice and i need a functional 4-way\8-way switched joystick

im very happy with my t-stick plus from ultimarc. but i bought my trackball from happ and it came with a usb connection which seems to work ok for all the games. so i didnt need a mouse hack!!!!
im happy!

Apples and oranges -
Happ Super is long throw, fairly light spring pressure, a little sloppy, good for circular motion in 8-way games. Difficult to switch to 4-way mode and not good for 4-way games.
T-Stick Plus is extremely short throw, moderate to stiff spring pressure, precise, okay for 8-way games, good for 4-way games, and easily switchable between the two.

Plus I've heard great things about the Happs Perfect 360 optical stick for many games. OTOH, I got two T-stik pluses and couldn't be happier--only used the 8->4way switching once or twice, but it makes a huge difference when you need it.
