If this has been mentioned before I appologize...
So has anyone have any experience with these joysticks?
Thanks.

divemaster127:
These are good sticks the magstick plus is the model to go with. You can switch from the top or bottom

I have a mag stik plus with ball top. Absolutely love it for 4 way games. Nice short throw. Switching between 4 and 8 way from the top isn't quite as trivial as it may appear - it does take a little effort. Personally though, I really dislike it as an 8 way. The short throw is great for 4 way, but terrible for 8 way - it's just so easy to end up in a diagonal when you don't want to. Indiana Jones is a good example that really emphasizes this weakness because it's so touchy about direction. You fall off a ladder if you accidentally hit a diagonal instead of hitting straight up.
No idea if other switchables are better with 8 way.
