NO NO NO NO NO. The quality of those is crap. They have crappy switches and they are a combination of the 4-way sticks and the 8-way sticks. Stay totally away from those. They reproed a stick that was a 4-way stick that someone stuck an 8-way actuator on, and then they used crummy leaf switches instead of the quality ones the originals had.

Also, I have used the Qix stick, it has a different feel, longer throw from the longer handle.

Do you have a preference between the Qix and the Ultimarc? Or does it depend on the game.
paigeoliver:
I couldn't even BEGIN to compare the 2. I have only used the Qix on the Space Invaders/Qix machine, and my T-Stick plus is still sitting in a box of parts, having never actually been installed.
Between Qix and Ms. Pac, I say Ms. Pac.
Also, you can swap Happ Super handles into the Ms. Pac base, works perfectly, but it obviously has a longer throw from the longer handle. Good option if you want all your sticks to match. You MIGHT be able to order them from Happ that way if you asked.

Would it be possible to just order the longer shaft from the qix stick and use it one a Hap Ms.Pac?
