For those with the Super, do you ever have a problem not hitting down accurately? I'm specifically talking about side scrollers, like Mario or Contra, or a game where you may have to duck accurately that was programmed primarily for 4 way control, but is not necessarily a true 4 way in the form of Donkey Kong. |

I dont have any problems with my supers. I even enjoy a game of donkey kong with them. These differences are all minute. You'll be fine with a super. ....at first, then you'll get hooked, then its all over. You'll be spending $12 here, then $30 over there the next week. Before you know it you'll have little boxes all over your garage full of joysticks you dont need. Go ahead, jump in. |

I've never used either, just going by reviews and videos. It certainly appears that the j-stik looks stranger in motion, but I could be wrong. Right now I'm starting to think that I just need to make a purchase of any one of these fine sticks and see how it fits me. --- End quote --- The thing that makes the T-sticks feel weird is the short throw everybody is mentioning. But you're new, and "short throw" may not mean anything to you. ;) Throw is the distance you can move the joystick from center. The joysticks you would have used on (most) arcade games (in the US) from (about) the 70s up through the 90s had a significantly longer throw than the T-sticks. T-sticks feel to me like they barely move at all. The same goes for the Suzo/OmniStik/Prodigy sticks others have mentioned. They're nice sticks, and a lot of folks swear by them- but they will feel different than what you and your guests probably remember. |
