I haven't played on any Happ supers yet but I know I don't like the X-Arcade joysticks. For all I know I wouldn't like Happ Supers either. However for $1 more per joystick I can get a Happ Competition joystick which comes with softer and more solidly constructed Cherry Brand Microswitches. The X-Arcade Microswitches are funtional but they have a very loud and hollow sound to them. |

The X-gaming sticks have too long a throw and too loose a feel... and that makes them bad for fighters plus they end up feeling real cheap. :P I'm sure swapping the springs makes them 1000 times better. Since I have Happs sticks already (P360's) I don't know tho. |

I've owned many different types of joys and the xarcade clickity (switches) and through and tension just doesn't feel good. This is just my opinion that they are junk. Maybe my junk is your treasure, but I'd pass on them if you can. Check out Kev's review of them here for another point of view. -Goz |

They are NOT happ supers. If you like them great, but don't call people bitter because they can feel a difference. IMHO, the Xarcade parts are garbage and probably wouldn't buy them if they were half the prices of Happs. I can't stand the clicky microswitches. |
