To say that suggesting someone search is completely useless is kinda like saying that the search feature is useless ... next you'll be saying that the wiki is useless.  :bat

The FAQ, Search and Wiki may not answer all of his questions, but there is good information to be found beyond the answers that will be provided here because relatively few folks have much interest in responding to each fresh joystick thread.

Because this ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- is discussed CONSTANTLY and there are a million ---smurfin---' threads dealing with the same ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow---, not to mention the WIKI, as pointed out above.

I know that type of thread has been discussed multiple times, but if a new one arises and it bothers you why not simply not reply, not read, or not have anything to do with it... rather than just a one liner saying "do a search".

I mean everyone starts out learning this stuff somewhere and this is a great forum for both beginers and veterans alike so why not help out instead of basically saying 'this has been talked about many times so find out for yourself!"... what's the point in that other than shunning newcomers?

I think a response like severdhed is 100% more helpful as it answers the op's question AND lets the op know that there is tons more info from previous threads...SOOOO much better than a simple ...'use the search'.

Heck, "use the search" could be a response for 90% of the threads here don't you think ?And it would quickly become a pretty quite forum if that were the case....

I'm not saying to not use the search, or the wiki, or to try and figure it out yourself....

Just saying if your going to take the time to respond at all why not help out the op while your at it....it helps beginners and makes for a much friendlier atmosphere.... :cheers:

Maybe I feel this way because I still feel like a beginner  :P and it wasn't that long ago that I was (and still am!) asking questions left and right hoping someone could shed some light on some confusion I have to get the cab running the way I want.....

I got my first cab built and running (woohoo!  ;D) thanks to much helpful advice from members of this board, and although my know how and experience isn't enough to answer many questions on this board, I'll try to help if I can...especially to the new guy I once was!  8)

This is supposed to be a discussion forum. The only thing being discussed in this thread is using search or the wiki instead of discussing the topic. Severedhed's reply was just as complete as the wiki (except for the t-stick+) and directed the OP to search for more information. I have spent countless hours searching here over the years, and it most often leads to outdated information. Unfortunately, there hasn't been anything new on these sticks in quite a while. I think that we need new discussions of old topics once in a while. The old timers probably haven't even thought about these in a while; let the newer people give out the information and move on to another thread. It is OK to discuss things here. There are way more useless "do a search" posts here than there are repeated posts about 4/8 way joysticks.

I used to have a T-stick+ 4 or 5 years ago. It is a very nice joystick and the 4/8 way switch works great. It has a really short throw though. I couldn't get used to it, so I sold my sticks. Some people love them; it just depends on what you are used to. If you want the most versatility, look at the u360s. They can be set to nearly anything, but there is no physical restriction. Again, it depends on how much you care about the feel of the stick.

The point is we have so many discussions here on this very subject that a simple search would've netted all of the information needed (ordered by date, with the most recent stuff first). I found the right sticks for me just by searching and reading opinions. It's not that hard.

severdhed just wrapped up his own thread about pretty much the same topic, so of course he had an answer.

If you want something to search, search for how many times I've behaved like this in other threads. You'll find that I answer to the best of my ability, sometimes going out of my way to make a graphic or video to help.

THIS thread, however, has been done (to death). There is no universal solution. The U360 is about as close as one can get and I highly recommend it.
