Is it junk, would it be good for a 4 way cabinet - anyone have experience with these?

Here is a review of that stick or that "style" of stick

The long and short of it is, it sucks.


Hold out for the real deal.  They come up for sale every month or so on the B/S/T forums.

btw, I have a wico 4way leaf and I like it... but I wouldn't have if they didn't have it restricted (diamond).  I don't think I would like the 8 ways at all for 4way games.

Pay the extra 10 bucks and get a happs mspacman reunion stick.  GREAT stick for the money in 4 way games...

Yes but the Reunion has MICROSWITCHES 


By the way, glad my review is still warning people to not buy this piece of    (I MEAN THAT E-BAY ITEM, NOT THE REUNION !

[CheffoJeffo]

Yes but the Reunion has MICROSWITCHES 

So REPLACE them with Ponyboy's leaf-switches ... 

Silly noob ! (j/k ... couldn't find a sarcasm smiley)

 

Cheers

WAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA DUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHH !!!!!!
 

Sorry !
Indeed how could I forget them....

Anyway, since my CP is very small I have to save space so I will stick to my switchable Suzo Inductives. For now.

A real Wico four way leaf stick is outstanding for four way games, but always avoid the sticks that are listed as "Wico style".
