Hi guys-
I am about ready to order my parts, and have a few joystick questions...

I am planning on a 4 player CP, with also a spinner and TB, flightstick and another 4way for Qbert. Question...

If I am going with the Ultimarc T-Stick Plus for my 1 & 2 player sticks, do I need the E-Stick for playing Q-Bert mounted up above those? Or, can I just mount a standard, 4 way joystick at an angle to save some cash? Since the T-Sticks are switchable 4/8 ways, can't I use the 1 & 2 player positions for any 4-way games (Pac Man, DK, etc) and just switch them to a 4 way mode when its time to use it, and have the 'Q-Bert' stick mounted at an angle permanently- since I'll never have to switch it back to a 'normal' 4 way mode? Is this possible and making sense?  Or, should I just shell out the extra cash, get the Ultimarc E-Stick AND the (2) T-Stick Plus' as well?

Next question- for players 3 & 4, I don't need anything special, just a standard 8-way, right? I only need 4 buttons on those positions as well, right?
Thanks!

Everything you are thinking is correct.

Thanks bud- just so I am clear tho, I can mount a STANDARD 4-way stick at a 45 degree angle and it'll work fine for Q-Bert and whatnot?
Thanks again

Use the T-stik in 8-way mode for Q*Bert.
The square restrictor on it makes it feel just like a rotated 4-way stick.
The only "whatnot" that uses a rotated stick like Q*Bert is Congo Bongo.
