Don't buy "Wico style" leaf joysticks !!

<< < (2/4) > >>

At first, I was going to not even post in here because I thought it was common knowledge to avoid these sticks.

I guess some of the newer members haven't picked up on that yet, so I just want to second what is said here.  DON'T buy these.  If you want a WICO, you need to get a real one, or you'll be very disappointed.  I got one of these in a joystick lot I bought, and it is totaly garbage IMHO.  I think I actually threw it away actually... that's how much I didn't like it.

Get a real WICO, or don't bother :)

Sorry you had to learn this they way ya did Level42, but at least you know better now.

I'll back up P.D. Blame. If it's not a real Wico, it's not worth buying.

Mmm, well actualy, the best leaf joystick I ever had/played was a ......Suzo leaf joystick..... a Competition Pro. Yes with leafs. Yes it still works great after 20 years. Yes I love it. Yes I wonder if Suzo ever made arcade versions with leafs...
Yes I hope the inductive Suzo will be available. No I haven't got a reply yet :(

Sorry, drifting off....

Glad I could prevent some others making the same mistake, and you can always transfer some money to help me recover financialy  ;D

Franco:
I didnt know this, so thanks!

Kremmit:
Those sticks are good for one thing:  The handles fit a real Wico just fine, so if you were unfortunate enough to buy one, you can replace your old, scratchyd-ball, rusty-shaft handle with a nice new one.

There are also some older knockoffs out there that look just like these, except they have a much smaller ball and shaft.  The screw-on leafswitches are still a dead giveaway.
