So now I have three different sticks in my final CP...a dedicated 4-way (J-Stik), a dedicated Player 1 8-way (360) and a dedicated Player 2 8-way with a firing button on top (Happs top fire) for gmaes like Tron, Battle Zone, etc. I like the dedicated 4-way better than the T-Stik Plus...it feels better on 4-way games and, in my observation, respinds better. I was afraid to not do the CP totally right and get a "I wish I had done...different". I'm happy with my layout, except for maybe the spinner (sacrifices for others and they way they liked it).

This helps immensely, thanks so much for taking the time to post your thoughts!  You CP sounds like a great combination!  I'm thinking I'll probably have to have a dedicated 4-way...

So you're not noticing any "dead" spots when you play Ms. Pac Man?  That would be good.  Thanks for taking the time to post!

It will allow for 4, 8, diag 4, 16 (useless), and 2 versions of 48 way when used with Randy's GP Wiz49. Do a read on it. I have totally replanned my cab CP because of that and the LED craze.

I'm guessing that when restricting directionals on a 49 way it's got to be software controlled, right?  Wouldn't that make it incredibly easy to hit "dead" spots while playing?  I don't know...just guesses on my part...  I'm thinking for my needs (mostly classic arcade playing), I'll be needing at the very least a "restricted motion" 8/4 way...  Again, I'm just learning so let me know if I'm wrong...

I just gotta decided whether I need something like two 4/8 way switchable joysticks for P1 and P2 and include a dedicated 4-way, or, if the 4/8 way has enough feel for my needs, perhaps putting a' single 49 way in the CP?  Ah....decisions decisions...

I gotta say this is such a great forum!  I've never had so much fun cruising and posting on a forum since back in 2001 when I bought my GSXR1000 and practically lived on gixxer.com that year!   ;D

Let me help you out there.  There are absolutely no "dead" spots on a 49-way when it is connected to a GP-Wiz49 controller and in 4-way DRS
