| Mag-Stik Plus feels funny? |

Just got a Mag-Stik Plus from Ultimarc. I love the ability to change from 4 to 8 way. It makes my 39 in 1 jamma board awesome. No more running into ghosts on pac man. The only problem I have is that it doesn't feel right. It feels as if it isn't too solid of a stick and it is loose and wierd. Anyone else have this experience? Is there anything I can do to make it feel more solid or stiffen it up a bit? |

What your experiencing is the short throw. The stick travels a very short distance before it triggers a microswitch. If you grew up in the states, it definitely does feel "funny". When I bought mine, I gave them a solid month of play before I abandoned them in favor of dedicated 4 or 8 ways. I have yet to try the U360, but it sounds like it's the stick people are using for 4 and 8 way games. |

It's GREAT for 4 way games, but not so good for 8 way games in my experience. I treat it as a dedicated 4 way, which is a shame because the switchability is what sold me on the stick in the first place. :badmood: |

More than the short throw that you are talking about, it just feels like it is falling apart and not that solid. I dunno, maybe I am just comparing it to the old joystick I had in there. So there is no way to make it feel better then, eh? |

Does it even have a spring in it, or does it rely on the magnet as the only "return to center" method? |
