joysticks, joysticks, joysticks...

Yeah I'm a UK'er too :)
I bought 1 J-Stick with a plan to use it as a dedicated 4-way. I was going to use Supers as my 8-way sticks...but I changed my mind and ordered another J-Stick.
Also, the buttons from Ultimarc are great. I actually think the microswitches used in them (Honeywell) are better than the Cherry switches used in Happ's.
Be carefuly of Happ's prices as by the time you've added duty, VAT & delivery it seems to cost twice as much as you think :(

I started out with a pair of Happ Supers, but I was pretty disapointed with the performance in "true" 4-way mode. I decided to build a second controller (it's amazing how many friends will ask you to build one for them ;D ) and I went with two J-Sticks this time. What a difference! Karate Champ is 100% playable now, as are all other 4-way games. The changeover from 4-way to 8-way takes about 10 seconds. I was skeptical when I received the sticks, but no longer, they really are quite nice.

yeah, but, if you order from the website, and live in the UK, the order will get send to their UK branch for processing.
just waiting on prices in

The olny downside I've heard is that some people complain about the excessive travel in 4 way mode. That's the only bad thing I've heard of them.
