| Grasshopper:
I own a vast number of different joysticks and as others have said if you're serious about this hobby then you'll eventually want to buy different joysticks for different games. But for a first joystick I'd recommend the Happ Supers for the following reasons: they work well enough with most games, they're cheap, well made, easy to get hold of, easy to install, and look pretty good. If you're interested purely in responsive gameplay then I'd say the Suzo series 500s are the best joysticks out there. The downsides are that they look uglier than most joysticks, they're harder to fit to a control panel, slightly more expensive and harder to get hold of than the Supers, and for some people used to a long throw joystick they just don't feel 'authentic'. The T-Stiks have a lot in common with the Suzo sticks. They have a stiff feel and a short throw. They have the best 4/8 way switching mechanism of any joystick IMHO, and they look nicer than the Suzo joysticks. In fact I think they are the nicest looking of all the bat handled joysticks. However, the Suzos feel smoother and they come with better, quieter microswitches. Basically there is no right or wrong answer and my opinions have changed over time but FWIW I'll be using Suzos on my next panel. |

Best all around stick? Perfect 360 hands down. Of course, they can be a bit expensive. ;) |
