I agree, the Super is probably the most versitle joystick. I imagine that is why it is so commonly used in commercial products like the HotRod, and a Super-clone is used in the X-arcade.
Other joysticks like the Competition and P360 surpass it in some areas, IMO, but the Super is hard to beat for a "do-everything" control panel.

Of course if you like the supers you'll love the p360. Its basically the same stick but it uses optical switches instead of mechanical switches. I love mine. They cost more than 3 times as much though.

Thanks for the input. You have all definately help me to make my decision. I think I will be very happy with my choice. I would love a P360, but unfortunately I'm poor and have to go the "cheap" route. At $7.50 / stick you can't go wrong.
I have posted it elsewhere, but basically I am deciding on a cabinet. I'm having to work with very little room space, so I'm trying to find a fairly compact model. I've pretty well decided on the LuSiD's arcade cabinet, and modifying the width by 5 - 6 inches (19" monitor as opposed to 25" TV). Are there any other smaller yet good setups? I definately prefer the upright cabinet version, I don't particularly want to just do a "joystick box", or a table top version, because as you all know it just isn't the same.

How often does therealroberts.com put stuff on sale? I guess I got there just a day too late, because now they are back up to $9.50 / stick, which isn't bad but $7.50 is much better. :)

I've never noticed any rhyme or reason to what Bob Roberts does. I get the impression that he just goes by "feel".
