What's the difference between these joysticks?
The cranky hermit:
I understand that Happ is the preferred joystick supplier. So, I want to know the differences between these 8-way joysticks. Please give specific details; don't say "ultimates suck" or "competitions are good for fighter." Tell me why ultimates suck, and why competitions are good for fighters. And I don't need any obvious details, such as "rotaries rotate." Thanks in advance.
Ultimate
Competition
Super
Universal
Rotary
Optical
Perfect 360

i was just about to ask this same question!! please throw in some of those j-stick or japanese standard ball top sticks in there as well.
Here's my $.02: i've only handled the ultimates and competition. IMO, the ultimates suck and the competitions are good for fighters, hehe...now i've never installed a ultimate into my cp, but from messing around with it, it seems it likes to click/snap/pop into the 4 way positions and you would then need to pull it on. the competitions seem to have a smoother transition with no clicking except from microswitches. the ultimate can also double as a 4way since you have the option of installing a squared piece onto the end of the joystick which makes it touch the switches, like a 4way posing as a 8way.
The cranky hermit:
Anyone know more? I don't think I'ved used any of these joysticks. If I have, I didn't know which ones they were.
