Don't "live" with your 8 ways. If you are going to spend all this time and effort then make sure you have a "proper" 4 way joystick. Ms Pacman/Galaga replacement looks and plays awesome but it is for a metal control panel only so you can count it out. Get the real deal dude you only need one. |

I have 2 T-sticks, and I like them very much in both 4 and 8 way modes. They have a relatively short throw and stiff action. I prefer a stiffer action than some, and don't mind the clickiness. Some people hate hearing the clicks. I have a super that I bought to hack into a trigger stick. It is much quieter, but the longer softer throw feels mushy after the Ts. I wonder... since the switches are what account for the clicking in a T-stick, could you put the quiet switches from a Happ joystick on in place of the T's clicky ones? The switches are physically the same, and it looks lke only 1 or 2 little screws per switch. Next time everything's all torn apart I'll have to try it. |

For the newer 4 way mspac/galaga sticks, you can easily create a small mounting plate by using a piece of 16 gauge metal plate from home depot or orchards supply and just mount your stick to that! Should work like a charm! Good luck to you! |

i think you could get the galaga/pac-man stick, and then get a joystick mounting plate from www.oscarcontrols.com to mount it in wood. |

My vote is for the Ms. pac/Galaga stick. Making a mounting plate is pretty simple. Just get a piece of metal, if you have a bunch of projects laying around then you will probably already have a nice piece to use. |
