fighter players, joystick of choice?
Lactose:
I'm looking into the SlikStik Quad so as a fighting-gamer I'd like to know what people think of the default Happ joysticks that come with it?
For perspective, I'm a big fan of the Betson Maximum Joystick, I use it in all my fighting cabinets. It has clicky-feedback so you know the moment the direction connects, and it's good about sticking to the direction you want to go in, which is to say you don't press left and accidentally get a little diagonal in there and end up jumping when you wanted to block.
I tried some "ultimate" Happs before but they were way too tight. It required too much effort to press the directions. I would like to know if the Quad's Happs are different?
Also, how bout those Optical 360 joysticks? How do they feel? Is there a little resistence between the directions so you don't accidentally press a diagonal when you don't mean to?
I've been scanning the boards for feedback on this stuff so don't think I'm ignoring the existing backlog of posts. I'm interesting in particular what users of the Betson Maximum think, if there are any out there.

I like Happ Competition Pros and Sanwa sticks almost equally. I tend to play a little better (ie: win more often) on the Happ CompPro sticks I find.
The Happ Perfect 360s get pretty rave reviews from the shoryuken.com lads. They're a little expensive or my taste, as well as finding a 5V source isn't always easy to do, so I've never bothered with them.
I believe the SlikStick Quad comes default with Happ Competition sticks.

Personally I like the P360s. Best for fighters IMHO. Smooth motion. No Click. No corners to hit.

I replaced the generic worn out crapsticks that came on my MVS with new Supers. It's a different world.
