;D I am definetly not an expert here but I did happen to buy both in the last few weeks. The one from Centsible has issues. Does not quite have the same feel as the NOS from Nicade. All in all using both I would buy the Nicade ones. Just my two "Cents" (sorry horrible pun) |

I wonder if we're talking about the same stick? Mine sure looks like the one in the picture on the Centsible site... --- End quote --- Mine looks like that one too (and the one that Tailgunner did the pictorial on). It's hard to tell from the back if it's exactly the same, but mine has a diamond shaped restrictor plate seen from the top and thus it's basically a 4-way stick. IIRC gray wico bases are always 4-way and black ones are 8-way (even for a cheap clone I guess). I actually have an original Wico base like they cloned to create this stick. OK that's not very helpful information, but I thought it was funny :P |

Grey Wico bases are not ALWAYS 4-way. I have a grey 8-way base in my parts box. |

Paige, are you sure its not a 4-way that has a rounded out restrictor from wear and tear ? I have a bunch of Wico 4-ways but one of them has a TOTALLY worn grommet. The restrictor plate as well, is so worn that the diamond shaped hole is so rounded out that it could definately be mistaken for an 8-way. Probably because the stick was continually used long after the grommet wore out. Both 4 and 8-way Wico sticks use a round cylindrical actuator. I think the 8-way actuator is a tad larger but both are round so you can't hardly tell the sticks apart from the actuators. I'm just wondering because I've never seen a gray Wico 8-way. Lord knows I've been wrong before though. :) |
