| SithMaster:
im looking for something that is comfortable for extended periods of play (like 4 or 5 hours) and has decent throw so it doesnt hurt the arms for joys. buttons well whatever lasts longest and is quick to register. not sure if this has a name but i dont wasnt the buttons to be stiff. |

If so, have you tried this too? |

No I havent. One thing I noticed though is that, with the new switches the player 2 stick seems to drift to the upper left diagonal. I'm gonna swap it out with the player 1 stick and see if it's the stick or the way I have the cabinet built or the way we're standing. |

KFC - Pepsi. Believe me players not May here nothing to saying. I had Sanwa JLF and JLW. Sanwa then joystick for 3Dfighter games. This never be done for shootings. Personally prefer Mag-stick Balltop (Light Action Switches) or my modded P360 (I altered pivot, spring and shortened stick) |
