Why can't I find a good 4-way joystick?
Kaytrim:
Thanks for the info Jeffo. I didn't realize that the Chinese knock offs were so bad.

i have both and prefer the J-stik. it has quicker engagement. most noticeable in 2-way games like defender and galaxian.
note that my observations apply to joysticks with shafts sized for bottom-mounting, which means stock J-stik vs reunion with tornadoterry shaft. i have not compared a stock J-stik to a stock reunion.
Crowquill:
Does the reunion stick have any kind of restrictor?
How does it differ from the Super? I'd understood they were pretty much the same base.

The reunion, instead of having a round hole, has a diamond shaped opening that the shaft rides against. It physically restricts the shafts ability to activate two switches at once.

I heard that most people prefer the nintendo 4-way, but I dunno. :dunno
