I'm still partial to Wico leafswitch sticks. You can tune them to get exactly the feel you want on them, and they do nice smooth circles. I don't like corners on SHMUPS. The P360s are nice if you modify the actuator, which is basically the same tweak as adjusting the leafswitches. |

I reckon J-Stiks are good thanks to their light quick action. Stating the obvious somewhat, but a lot of Japanese cab schmups use these/similar sticks. |

You can hack a standard stick to work the analog, but all you're going to get out of it is eight directions and the effect of pushing the analog to maximum. |

Kowal has modified all 3 things. 2. Suzo Inductive. Other joysticks can be compared to these 2 for shmups games. Maybe when Andy will found good spring for U360 then his stick can be good too, but not now. Rates (1-10): P360 mod - 10 Suzo Ind. - 10 U360 - 7 Sanwa JLW - 6 Seimitsu LS-32, LS-40 - 6.5 T-Stik - 7 Mag-Stik - I didn't know, maybe kowal will say something here --- End quote --- Hey destructor! I always see you and Kowal chiming in as joystick authorities, yet you never mention the 49-way / GP-Wiz49 combo. Have you ever tried this combo? It's amazingly smooth and controllable, much like an original WICO due to the rubber centering grommet. If you haven't given this combo a run, you don't know what you are missing for SHMUPS. RandyT |
