I've got two on my CP. I love them. They are easy to switch, but it won't happen by accident during gameplay. They are built very solid.The only downside would be that there is no indicator to let you know when it is in 4-way and when it is in 8-way mode. If you aren't sure you have to pull up the stick and try to change it one way or the other (and remember which way is 4 and which is . Some kind of indicator would be great.Overall I think they are definitely worth it as opposed to putting a separate 4-way on the panel or having to mess with the joystick from the bottom side.
...whereas most other sticks the rubber grommets (or whatever they are) tend to hold the shaft still.
How are they at producing dragon punches?
I had two T-Sik plusses on my cab when I first built it. However, I found them a bit stiff for my tastes and my hand actually started to ache after a while when playing fast games like Pac-Man etc. Those type of games are not suited to this joystick.
I may try the replacment cherry switches that MinWah talked about as it's not an expensive upgrade.
Yeah that would be helpful, thanks
The others I have (including regular T-Stick) turn, yes. But the Plus' almost spin!

To determine what mode you're in, all you have to do is push diagonally and feel if you're hitting the restrictor plate or are getting clicks.
It's been a while since I changed mine over (plus I don't have it in front of me) BUT, the rectangular washer doesn't go over the shoulder, it sits on it with the spring behind it.
I thought that standard Cherry switches didn't fit because the switch mounting was different.
Anyhoo... I bought 4 T-Sticks and 4 replacement ball top shafts. I probably should check them all. Maybe some of them aren't this tight.
