| Anyone order joysticks from Betson? |
| (1/1) |
| ilsiu:
I was looking through the Betson catalog, and came upon this joystick: Superior Joystick w/4 or 8 way actuation and standard mounting dimensions. Price = $10.79 link to photo It looks like a J- or T-stick (carried by Ultimarc), but when I emailed them for more details, Betson replied that they are the manufacturer of this joystick. I was planning to get a J/T stick, but this looks like a cheaper alternative. Betson trackballs seems to have a good reputation - has anyone tried these sticks? Thanks, I-Liang |

I haven't but it makes me wonder if "superior" is just another name for "super" based upon the look of it ... Even a super is "either 4 or 8 way"... what makes the t-stick and j-sticks unique (or rather more interesting) is that they are switchable nearly on the fly --> rotating restrictor plate. whereas, Happs supers "switch" between 4 and 8 way by taking the whole stick apart and flipping the actuator so that it has a narrower profile in order to not hit diagonals, which is NOT the same feel/result. I'd be glad to hear that a j-stick-esque stick was manufcatured and sold by betson... but i'm skeptical, and hope someone proves my assumptions/concerns wrong... *shrug* rampy look at this pic Kinda looks similiar to your diagram from the betson catalog... which doesn't prove anything but means it's hard to tell if a joystick is good from a drawing =P |
