| 49-Way vs p360 |

I have never tried one but am waiting for delivery on a pair of Suzo Inductive sticks. It apparently has an octagonal restrictor plate (you can feel the 8 primary directions) and it is electronically adjustable from 8 to 4 way operation (no dead zones and no accidental diagonals.) So, it won't feel as good as a true 4 way, but should have a lot better feel than the 49 way or the P360 with a 4way actuator. I think that the Suzo Inductives have a short throw so that might not be good for you. I was convinced that I would go with a 49way solution but the throw on those sticks is just too long for me. Check out this recent thread: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=52876.0 Level42 put me on to the fact that TNT Amusements is selling these sticks for $17.99, which is about half what they normally retail for. You can find TNT at http://www.tntamusements.com/ I have been sitting on the fence for well over a year on which joystick to choose. When RandyT announced the GPWiz49, I thought it was absolutely the coolest arcade product out there and that I would get one soon. I still think that it is the most original and coolest product but just not for me. I just can't get into such a long throw for such a large expense. I was hoping to choose a stick solution where I could also add a trigger or top fire button in order to have a "do it all" type stick but I have given up on that. If you might want a fire button or other after market mods, then the P360 and the 49way seem to be the two sticks with the most after market modification options, although still no aftermarket fire button solution. :( spec |

The sticks are quite "tight" in their actuation and don't require one to push the stick anywhere near the physical limits to operate them properly. The types who like the physical throw limits and who are not concerned with full 49-way operation can use a smaller hole in the CP to limit the maximum stroke. If you like the Suzo sticks and want a firebutton on top, don't forget to take a look at the Firetop Prodigy. Physical 4/8 way restricted action, short throw AND a button on top. :) Still uses microswitches though. RandyT |
