XGaming 8-way vs. Wico 360 Joystick
JayTea:
I acquired 2 Xgaming joysticks via E-bay, but I am not very pleased with the feel. Does anyone have the Wico 360 degree joysticks, and if so, what is your opinion of them? Thanks!

isn't that like comparing a trailer and a mansion?
(and I actually *like* my x-arcade sticks - well they are ok) have you tried adjust the microswitch lever thingies?
*shrug*

EDIT do you have a link to the wico 360's btw? I don't seem em on their joy page... I know the happs360's are the cadillac of joysticks though (making the x-arcade kinda the dodge neons or ???)
EDIT 2 also what about hte feel don't you like? too stiff? too loose? sucks on 4 ways? can't do zangief moves? what games did you like playing that you like the "feel" of? *shrug*

Here is the link to the WICO 360...

I can't locate it on their online catalog, however. maybe it is discontinued?
As for adjusting the microswitches, yes, I have "tweaked" the levers to give me the optimal response, but it is a Geo Metro in comparison to an Arcade quality Wico stick...

Most people that can afford the perfect 360's (presumably from happs? unsure if they are identical or not) love them... I imagine most people stick with Supers/etc... due to price/value ... after all it's a joystick NOT a car... and you can get around town in a geo metro (just not very fashionably or comfortably =P )
If you got the bucks p360's aren't supposed to dissapoint. (note: I dont' actually *have* 360's so hopefully soon someone who does will join the thread =P )
good luck!

Well, I just got my Happ's P360's from UPS today.. I'm at work so I haven't field tested them yet, but I put one together and they feel amazing! I'll probably install them tonight or tomorrow night--so i'll let you guys know soon!
