its really a matter of opinion as is evident by CthulhuLuke's post. your never really going to know for yourself till you buy some ,install them and do some damage ingame.. and their dirt cheap so its not a big loss if u dont like em.. i find the throw in the seeimitsu to be too far in trying to reach the corners.U<D<L<R all are close and tight, but the corners seem to take twice the throw. its a flaw of the restrictor design. not to mention they are loud as all hell. my seimitsus are leafswitch style, and in a plastic and sheetmetal control panel they resonate a loud, unappealing, tinny thin feel and sound. as far as sanwa buttons, my primary dislikes are this.. spring...there is almost no resistance in the button. if it were a happ competition you would throw it out because you would assume it was worn out.. secondly is the lack of a conventional microswitch as we westerners know them.there is no noise or click whatsoever when the buttin is depessed. i find this lack of feedback unappealing. theres nothing liiek popping a cherry in a happ. ultimately its gong to be a matter of personal taste and playstyle.. sadly there isnt anywhere for you to go and "testdrive" some japanese controls. when youget the cash, buy 1 stick and some buttons, and give it a run.. if it disagrees with ya, at least you will not have invested too much. |

hmmm, i see an upgrade in my future... |

All these japanese ball-top sticks have square motion (Sanwas, Seimitsus...) My Namco Arcade Stick has square. I've heard the Dreamcast Arcade Stick has round motion... |

Sanwa sticks are actually really nice. The octagonal restrictors don't make them round like a happ joystick. It just makes it have a corner in all 8 directions instead of 4. That way you can really feel which direction your pressing. It makes it easy for doing dragon punches and stuff because you can really feel when you hit the diagonals. If you want your stick to be silent get the optical p360 sanwa. It is super quite and responsive. It also comes with the wire harness and octagonal restrictor. Oh, and the octagonal restrictors only work on the sanwa JLF model joystick so you couldn't put it on a J-Stick. |
