Best Joysticks

(1/2) > >>

Ian:
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum... However since it seems many of you have tried many different kind of joysticks I wanted to know if you have a top ten list of joysticks... See I have a four player mame cab, I used two X-arcade joysticks and two joysticks that I received from a friend... not sure what kind they are... Im not a real fan of either. So I am wondering if you guys know of a very good stick that is very firm and feels good, for games like Street Fighter 2

I also want a dedicated 4-way joystick for games like pac-man.  Which are the best dedicated 4-ways I can buy? Any help would be wonderful. Besides I think it would be a great idea to comprise a list of the top joysticks.

I don't have a top ten list, but I just ordered the controls for my panel and decided on the happ competition joys. I have hooked them up on a test panel to try them out, and they feel great! Stay away from the happ ultimates... I have heard they are hardly "ultimate"

If you are looking for a good all-around solution, go for the ultimarc 360s. They are software programmable to switch between 4 and 8 way, depending on the game that you play if you want to set it up that way. I have heard that some think they are alright for fighters, others don't like them... you would have to try one and see how it feels to you.

Good luck with your decision!

When I got my joysticks, I was going by the book instead of asking around on the boards, and I ended up ordering the Ultimates thinking they were just what Happ was calling the Supers these days. I'm considering upgrading my P1 and P2 joys to the competitions.

It all depends which style you like. If you like american style joysticks and concave buttons, happs is about your only choice. If you like japanese convex style buttons then sanwa is about the top of the line.

I got Mag Stik Plus sticks from ultimarc.  I like them because I can switch between 4 and 8 way with a pull and a twist  ;D .  I change both of them to ball tops instead of what they had originally.
