Happ competition for 4-way games?

[AE35]

Hi all.

I know it isn't a 4-way joystick, I just wanted to ask how well
I could expect it to work with 4-way games like Lady Bug and
Pengo etc.?

My wife hates getting stuck in the corners

I've read many great reviews of the comp sticks, being great for
allround games.

Now that I think about it, why do some sticks use direct contact
with the micro's(like the competition), and others press on the cobber-thingy that then presses the micro. Which is better for what and why?

Thanks you for your time, again!

Comps are not a good choice for 4-way games because they have a square actuator which makes hitting diagonals very easy.

Yeah they worked terrible for me, even for some 8 way games like Gauntlet.  It's generally pretty difficult to move directly up/down/left/right, the stick always seems to want to move to the diagonals unless you are very deliberate and careful.
