First of all thanks for all the info in your last post. That is the kind of information I'm looking for. It's getting more and more clear that TT2 from GGG is the obvious winner in the spinners area.

With pushbuttons I read some reviews on Kowals web page, but he is lacking reviews of pushbuttons from US manufacturers. Kowal goes into details as to review differences as to quality of plastic, wheter it's very or less shiny, how fast will it engage how hard  they are,shape, how long they will last... I'd buy japanese pb's but they're pretty expensive. Supposedly Ultimarc sells PSL push buttons from Industraial Lorenzo Co, but I couldn't verify that on their web page.
If you could go a little more into detail as to why convex pbs are not very good. I found this on HAPP web page: "Uniqe, convex design for increased speed and accuracy" What does that mean?

BTW I'm mostly interested in shootem ups & platformers and then 3D fighters, not really into 2D fighters. I prefer Tempest over Arkanoid.

Look I'm really not trying to annoy anyone. I just wanted some answers and got generic we've answered those questions already, find the answers yourself. I apologize if it looked like I was critcizing anyone.

It did, and you were. Your asking for opinions on a very subjective nature. It's been debated about hundreds of times. What we all know, that you don't is that the research is half the fun. Enjoy the process. If there was a "best" way we would just tell you to use it.

4 way -
Wico - feels right for 4 way games

8 way -
Supers - they feel right on a fighter

Trackball -
Betson Imperial. I purchased it cheap - feels like a Happs trackball to me

Spinner -
Mouse Hack for a steering wheel - it's ok.
TT2 - it's good
