Joystick Poll

Gavica:

yeah, but Im no good at building stuff and electronics.
I mean, I can afford the xarcade, so seems easier to avoid the hassle of trying to building it and failing.



JoyMonkey:

The X-Arcade joysticks are possibly the worst sticks I've ever touched. If you're not too handy, you might want to buy an X-Arcade and then replace the joysticks with something more decent.
Or buy a Hanaho Hot Rod instead; they're about the same price but Hanaho uses quality Happ parts.

Scumgriever:

I'm a fan of MCA sticks myself, no particular reason, I used them as a kid and get the response I love and am used to.

FrizzleFried:

Scrum,

Those look like the sticks I pulled out of a "Real Ghostbusters".   Those i pulled sucked though...old and beat up.   Do they have a very short throw?


Scumgriever:

fairly short, they're not for everyone, but they feel the most 'arcade' authentic to me because thats what a whole bunch of the machines I used to love had. Also there were a number of times since that I used other sticks and while they feel great, perhaps even improve playing ability on super intense games, they don't feel quite right to me.
