Hi all.

What's the BEST 4-way joystick(not changeable), with the shortest throw
and fastest return-to-center?

My wife doesn't seem to think that any joystick can compete with the
arrow buttons on the PC keyboard for ladybug.

Recommendations needed!

Thanks!! :)

She might actually be right.  If you think about it, people generally use 3 fingers on the cursor keys. You really can't beat that.

My favorite dedicated 4way is a 4way Wico leafswitch.

Second favorite is the Ms. Pac/Galaga stick.

An Ultimarc E-stick (Happ universal) in 4-way mode has a short throw and works great. 

An original Pacman leafswitch joystick is still my favorite 4-way joystick.

The very shortest throw and absolute fastest return to center can be had on the Omni-Stik, with the T-Stik in a very close second.  You don't have to buy the switchable model, the standard one can be put in 4-way mode by adjusting the restrictor under the panel. 

Personally, I prefer the original Pac-Man stick Mark mentioned.  Not as short a throw, or as fast a return-to-center, but it's what I like.
