Utrak doesn't support buttons...

Are you sure about that?  The USB interface is a preprogrammed U-HID nano.  The nano can do TB + 3 buttons and still have an unused pin.  It can be programmed so it doesn't do buttons, but I'd think it would have buttons.  Andy?

I must be out of my mind but I recently took out my u360 in favor of a mag-stik. I never liked how sloppy the action of the u360 was. I do like the versatility of the u360 and that it is why I bought one but didn't like how they feel. Perhaps I need to get the hard spring or something.

even though the diagonals are annoying at times with the square restrictor on the mag-stik or t-stik, for my personal preference, it doesn't bother me much since I don't play fighters very often.

Having only used the 49-way joysticks I am biased, but, that being said, they are awesome when paired with Groovy Game Gear's GP-Wiz 49 interface.  I have 4 controllers on my showcase and 2 for my cocktail cabinet.  Nothing beats the smooth and quiet operation of the sticks.  Combine that with the digital restriction technology that lets you "convert" the controller from 49-way to 2-way horizontal and every way in between, including diagonol for Qbert, you can't lose.  I have it set up to auto change depending on the game.

Sorry for my commercial for Groovy Game Gear's product, but when compared to the standard microswitch controllers on my daughter's arcade there is no comparison.

I am seriously considering buying spares of both the interfaces and the controllers just to make sure I have them... Once you use these there is no going back!
