best 8-way joystick?
Felice:
I'm looking for the best 8-way joystick so I can find the diagonals very quick, easily, accurate and responsively.
And what is the best joystick with the same features but with a firebutton on top of it?
Any help is welcome.
TalkingOctopus:
I am not sure if there really is a "best" joystick. Some joysticks are better than others for certain types of game. With that said, I really like Japanese balltops like a Sanwa Joysticks. They are kind of pricy though. However, I think they are looser and are more responsive than the happ sticks. Note: The only joysticks I own are the Happ p360, Super and a Seimitsu, but I think that is more than enough for one house.

Take a look at www.retroblast.com
Kevin did a great job (IMHO) on his reviews of common joysticks.

If you need something to find the Diagonals easily with then you probably want a Happ Competition. I have to say I'm a big fan of the sanwa sticks too though. They are great for finding diagonals but they take some getting used to if your not used to the japanese style square joystick motion.

Drop by my store and take a look at the FireTop Prodigy. It's not cheap, but it's 4/8 way switchable from the top of the panel, has a Fire button on top of the stick and the square restriction makes the diagonals an easy target.
Just click on the sig.....
