4 - 8 Way adjustable Joystick

Pages: (1/4) > >>

digitalmonkeyman:

I know Iv'e seen it, and I can't find the thread by doing a search.  I'm looking for a joystick that is a 4 and an 8 way, where you can toggle between the two.   Lift and twist is what I believe I saw.

Any help would be appreciated.

protokatie:

Check out the magstick plus, it has controls for changing the stick plate to be wither 4 way or 8 way on the top.

Ultimarc.com sells em.


Kremmit:

The other option on the market is the Prodigy from GroovyGameGear.  That one uses a mechanical lever that pokes up through the mounting plate, as opposed to the lift & twist.

jlfreund:

Does anyone know if magstick plus or prodigy is better for games like Robotron?

I have magstick plus and just with mindless playing, about 90% of the shots and movement comes out diagonal.

I think both have a square restrictor plate which I heard makes hitting horizontal and vertical very hard, so I'm guessing they would be the same.

I have a magstick plus on my cocktail that I'm building, and it does well enough for classic 4-way games, as long as you remember to switch it to 4-way!  It doesn't have much of a throw, but you get used to it.
