i'm looking for the best sticks for Robotron and would prefer to add a couple special-purpose sticks, rather than compromise Robotron playability with multi-purpose sticks.

then why are you using P360's instead of WICO 8ways?  P360s ARE multipurpose sticks for all intents and purposes, but if you went with 49ways you can drop the rotary, 4way, and the qbert stick and put them all into one.

If you really love Robotron, I'd get 2 NOS Wico 8ways, and then put one 49way in the center of the panel somewhere so that you can use that as your multi-purpose joy... and taht way you'll also add 49way games and some of the analog games that work decently with 49ways

yow! i've been thinking all along that the Happ Perfect 360 was the absolute best joystick for Robotron, based on quite a bit of web research. do you have concerns with the 360 for Robotron?

since i'm planning on having SlikStik build the panel for me, i need to stick with the options they have available, which include:

  - happ competition
  - happ top fire
  - happ perfect 360
  - happ rotary
  - happ super 4way or 8way
  - ultimarc J-stick
  - t-stick plus 4way or 8way (prob. mag stick now)
  - happ ultimate 4-way
  - heavy duty trigger stick

they don't have the 49-way, and i'm sure they don't have any N.O.S. options.

FYI:

Wico 8-way and Happ 49-way fit the same cutouts as the Happ Super & Competitions, so you can always have SlikStik cut the panel for those joysticks, but just not install them there so that you can put in whatever you want.

its not that I particularly have a "problem" with Robotron with P360s... its just... the wicos were what the game actually shipped with.  And IMHO, the leaf switches are NECESSARY to play the game well.

It's all personal preference really, but if you're a huge Robotron fan like your name suggests, you'll probably want the real deal.  Have SlikStik cut out the slots and just drop them in.

I still say 2 Wicos and a 49 would make for a much less cluttered CP, but if you like it, that's all that matters.
