joysticks, joysticks, joysticks...

hi y'all
just wondered if anyone here uses any of the joysticks from Ultimarc...
I'm tempted to get a couple of j-sticks (can't decide between ball and oval top though), and I'd like to hear from people that have used them before...
cheers
Minwah:
I have a couple of ball-top J-Sticks and I think they're great...
BUT I haven't used them yet :D
I just like the chrome stick & red ball top. Some people say the spring is perhaps a bit light, but in a recent post Andy mentions how to stiffen them up. The ones I have seem stiffer than the sticks used in the Sega Naomi cabs anyway.
Anyone else any opinions?

well, you've convinced me ;D
I was originally gonna go for a couple of Happs Supers - until I read that they don't operate in 'true' 4-way mode (you can still physically move the stick into the corners)
ball tops it is then ;) (which i slightly prefered anyway)
canardo:
I have got a couple of the oval top J Sticks
the 4 way operation is great after the dial has been moved a few times (its a bit stiff at first)
I would agree maybe the spring action is a bit light for 4 player games but they come into their own on games such as street fighter
and Ultimarc service seems second to none (plus I am a uker and made a change not having to import stuff)
radiator:
right, cheers, definatly gonna get a couple now!
just waiting on an email from Happ, need to know GP
