Mag-Stik Good Enough to Skip Dedicated 4-Way
sharkus:
I was originally planning on having a dedicated 4-way joystick on my panel. I then came across the Mag-Stik and Mag-Stik Plus joysticks (I ordered one of each).
I would be great to use the Mag-Stik Plus as the player 1 joystick and switch it between 8 way and 4 way as needed. (Player two will use the normal Mag-Stik so if I want 2 players using 4-way I can switch that one by flipping the switch under the panel).
Has anyone tried out these joysticks yet? Do they work well enough in 4-way mode were I can eliminate the dedicated 4-way?

Try them out and let us know! The mag-stik just replaced the t-stik so none of us really have much of an idea.

Well the T-sticks worked great as 4 / 8 way sticks. I think the main point of discussion was never about their suitability as a 4 / 8 way stick. Some people preferred some of the longer throw of other available sticks. I for one, really liked my t-sticks. From what Andy Warne said, they're almost identical, except for the magnet centering.

If this is what's in the new Tekken 5 machines, then I've used them. They are extremely light-action, and the throw is pretty decent - comparable to a Happ Competition stick.

Andy said the action is short. So the throw's not "decent" if you mean, more than short. If you mean decent as in "it feels fine" that's probably the case.
