  • I want to build my own arcade controls!
Compromise?!
« on: August 23, 2005, 10:48:42 am »
I have 3 T Stick Plus's with ball tops which I love dearly. They are great sticks and I love the true 8 - 4 way feel which is switchable from the top of the control panel.

However, I also love lights, and with great interested followed slikstiks progress with the illuminated ball top handles... which are not compatible with the T Stick Plus... which to be honest is more than a little upsetting!

So, what do I do now? I really do not know, but was just wondering what people thought of the controls which are usuable with the illuminated items... such as the perfect 360?!

Just remind yourself lights are gimmicky fluff. Real men don't use glowsticks.

Functionality trumps aesthetics.  Stick with the controls you like.  Just light your buttons.
