Can anyone recommend a good flight stick? Looking for the best one out...
Thanks.

For arcade games on a control panel.
I see there is a bunch listed on this page...

Matthew Fisher:
Do you want an analog one, or an 8-way? My understanding is that very few arcade games actually use analog.
Having said that, I got one of the Happs analog ones (I think the only difference between those is essentially the grip) because some of my faves need it to be right. I sure as heck didn't pay full Happ price, though! ;D Keep your eyes open, and you should be able to find one on eBay for 20-30 bucks. If it's one pulled from an arcade machine, you will either have to swap out the pots or use an analog interface to use it with a PC, but it will still be a lot less than what Happ wants. Built like tanks, great arcade-ey feel, and very precise. As for an 8-way, I don't really know, but my guess is that the Happ would be very high quality.

I am I am in the process of building a control panel and am considering one for it. I am just looking for one that provides the best support for games in Mame or the most games in general.
