The joystick of choice?

Hey all,

Probably another noob question but I would love some feedback from those who know best - this forum! I am about to place my orders for my 4-player CP parts, and still have not completely settled on which joystick(s) to go with. I am looking at the Happ site and Groovy and noticing some serious differences in the styles between the diff sites. The Happ stuff seems more "typical" while some of the stuff at Groovy seems a little more "unorthodox" I suppose? I don't really know what I am looking for. I would like an overall good joystick for everything from fighter's to some 1942 or Joust - a multi purpose stick if you will. Is there one that you guys would recommend for quality and performance? Any insight would be great!
TheShanMan:
If multipurpose is what you're after, consider a switchable 4-way/8-way joystick, such as the Ultimarc Mag Stik Plus or the GroovyGameGear switchable one. You wouldn't need 4 of those (I'm not sure that there are any games with 2 4-way's), but you could go with one of these and then 8 ways for the rest.

Karate Champ VS. uses two 4-ways for each player (four 4-ways total).

Depends on what side of the pond you live. In Europe, most of us "grew up" with Suzo's 500(=GGG) sticks, so the Happ stuff would be more unorthodox for us.

I know I've said it a million times before but there's nothing that beats Suzo's Inductive IMHO, especialy at the price.

And I am a fan of the Seimitsu LS-40-01 or perhaps the Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT
