Pac-man and the Balltop T-Stik Plus

Does anyone here use the 4/8 T-Stik Plus with Balltop to play Pac-man (and other 4-way games)?  I'm wondering how it controls using it in 4-way mode.  I think I'm going to order two of them for my cocktail cab but I'd like to hear opinions first...

Plays fine... But plays better with a Ms Pacman/Galaga 4 way.

OK, thanks.  That was a great review.  I don't have room on my CP for 2 sticks and I want to have 8-way and 4-way playability so this is probably my only option...

Its your best bet, but theres some 4/8 ways that you can change under the panel.  Theres also the omnistick prodigy I think it's called.  Its a GGG product that has a little stub that you switch...check them out if you want.

I'm going to sound like a broken record, but the T-Stick's short throw can make those fast paced maze games a pain.  Many people complain of going in the wrong direction at critical times, due to very little separation between the corners.  Also, the stiff spring tension can get tiring.

I highly recommend the J-stick balltop for 4-way games.  It has an average throw distance, and a light spring tension for fast action.  It is 4-8 way switchable by turning the restrictor on the bottom.  I can't recommend this stick enough!  :)
