i would like to use a keywiz & ledwiz...there shouldn't be any problems with the u360 right...i'd just not be taking advantage of the button support with the u360...?

thanks again...!

You should have no problems because they are all USB devices.  If I was doing it all over again and had the money I would use two u360 joys, KeyWiz, LEDwiz, and OptiWiz.  For now I will be saving my money so I can get the U360 joys.

Good luck on your build.

Would you ever use the second u360 as anything other than an 8-way?

This has been the stopper for me.  I really want one, but I can't justify spending close to $100 for effectively an 8-way just so they match.  But not matching is out of the question too.

Hmmm... maybe a u360 for player 1 and a p360 for player 2?

There are a few 4way, 2P simultain.  games such as buster bros, columns, hat trick, klax, lode runner, logic pro, mad donna, palamedes, wizard of wor.

Perhaps 2 player with both in 2 way mode like mario bros, joust, bubble bobble, space inv 2, but I suppose that an 8 way would be ok for that...


@fixedpigs - I don't think you initially understood the difference between the p360 and u360 (perhaps you do now)...  but the p360 is simply just an 8way joystick with optical switches instead of micro or leaf switches.  The u360 is a completely different animal.  It is an analog joystick with a microprocessor that converts the analog readings into directions.  The conversion from analog to directions is completely adjustable and configurable so that you can make the stick only send 4 way info, or you can change it to only send 8 way info, or rotated 4 way (for qbert), or it can act as a full analog stick.  It is possible for your front end (some) to send a command to the u360 to change the mode depending on the game launched for auto switching.  So it's more than just a USB interface...

I want a good joystick for player two because we play a lot of the fighter games.  As long as both of the player one and player two joys are identical there will be no 'favorite' player side fights based on the hardware.  I see that now because I have one of my T-Sticks under mounted and one is top mounted.
