OPINION: Best 4/8 way stick?
RTSDaddy2:
My two cents -
I know some don't like the short throw, but I'd cut you before I'd let anyone take away my T-stick plus sticks. Maybe it's just from years of console gaming, but I like the short throw.

My suggestion:
ditch 4 way altogether. Since you already have a CP layout, use games that use that layout. Two 8 ways plus three buttons each? That's a massive amount of games. That way you won't have to cut your CP, and it'll make things easier to wire, etc.

I'll add that I use my wico 8-ways 99% of the time and that includes playing pac-man, donkey kong and other 4-way games. I much prefer the 8-way to the Ms Pac/Galaga reunion stick and it works fine in Mame with 4-way games, IMO.
In my next version of my CP I'm pretty sure I'm going to lose the dedicated 4-way all together. YMMV
