Happ Ms Pac VS Ultimarc J-Stik Balltop
(1/3) > >>
MameJunkie:
I'm building a Ms Pacman cocktail cab and want a 4-way balltop joy.

I was going to order the Happs Ms Pacman $20 but when I was ordering the encoder, I saw the J-Stik balltop (4/8 way $15).

Question is how does the J-Stik feel in the 4-way mode.  If its just as good, it seems like its a better deal.  Its cheaper and I can actually turn in into a 8-way.
rchadd:
i'm also wondering if the j-stick would be good for a galaxian reproduction machine.

is there better alternative

or should i try and get a original 2 way?

MinerAl:
I've not played with the J-Stick, but you might also want to consider the T-Stick Plus balltop.  The action is much stiffer and the range of motion is much smaller, but you get a good positive 4 or 8-way feel, and it's switchable from above the CP.

Yes, I would like the T-Stik Plus w/Balltop...BUT its too expensive...way too expensive.
$24 for the T-Stik plus (not bad) but I have to get the balltop extra ($12-14).
So it ends up being $36-38.

I don't get why he doesn't just sell a T-Stik Plus balltop version without having to get the normal version with a balltop shaft extra.  Probably is a good reason but as of now, I dont have to budget to spend $72-76 for 2 joysticks.  Granted they are some of the nicer joysticks out there.

I'm in the same boat....

I'd like to go with a couple of T-Stick Plus with Ball Top for a couple of classic bartops I'm building but have hesitated based on the total price and then having (2) useless stick parts to boot.
