Ultimarc Magstik is strange.

No monitor problems here. 

Also, I'll have to say that I really like the feel of the Mag Stick plus.   However, I use it primarily as a dedicated 4 way stick.   Remember that there isn't any 'best' joystick...it is a very subjective thing.

Mag-Stik as dedicated 4-way stick? Hm... search forum for best 4-way joystick. I'm sure that it's not Mag-Stik.

I don't get it. He was saying it's subjective and it's what he chose to be his dedicated 4 way stick. If he thinks it's the best - than it's the best to him.

Maybe you should search dictionary.com for the word "opinion"

I just tried to install the Magstiks on my 39 in 1 cocktail this weekend, and had the same problem. Hadn't had a chance yet to complain/inform Ultimarc of this yet. (And one of them was damaged, looked like it had been dropped and ended up cracking one of the switches open, so I need to get that taken care of too)

Definitely causing interference with the monitor.  Which really bums me out, cuz I finally was able to play Xevious and move the ship properly.  The feel in 4 way and in 8 way was great, easy to change. I love the short throw, everything about them except the fact the bottom third of the screen is off color.

Mine are mounted in a metal control panel, like the ones Arcadeshop sells. Don't know if that makes a difference.  Unless anyone has a workaround, I guess I'll just save them at this point for when I build a jamma cab.

I need to figure out what to get instead though. Really made me realize how much I hate the sticks that came with this game.

Distance between monitor and MagStiks is to small. You can use some anti-magnetic materials between monitor and MagStiks too.
