Mag-Stick Plus discussion

Hi.

I have 2 magsticks plus on my control panel (still no cab), and I like the short throw; maybe I'm amoung the minority here lol ;D.  Any way, it's really a matter of preference.  Just give them a chance (since they're on their way), and maybe you'll like them.

Cheers, :cheers:

I have 2 Magstick plus's on my CP and I find the switching isn't too tough once you get the hang of it.

My problem is that it feels like the horizontal and verticals are much harder to hit than diagonals.  When playing robotron, for example, in normal, mindless gameplay, 90% of my shots are diagonal, and I have to really concentrate on positioning the joystick just so to get it to shoot vertical or horizontal.

I've gotten used to them. It's really simple to change from 4 to 8-way. I do it all the time without much thought and other who play the cab say the same.

I really like the short throw, and I plan to get the 8-way only Mag Stick for my side control panel. They've been very reliable.

I have had one since they were released. I love it the switching mechanism and the magnetic centering is brilliant.
