U360 owners and users with octagonal restrictor please chime in.

I like my circular restrictors but do wish I had the little corners of the octagonal. I'm tempted to buy a pair and try them out, although I'm disappointed to hear that it restricts travel much more than the circular restrictors.

No, I did not. The main reason I ordered the octagonal was to have distinct positions at the edge of the stick's travel, rather than reducing the throw. Given that, the round restrictor seemed pointless.

I have to mention that in order to even be able to hit the corners in analog mode with the octagonal plate, you have to further decrease the stick's analog range (compared to the round restrictor) via an edit in the INI file.

To be honest, I never managed to get the U360 to the point where I was happy with it. I've since ordered Happ Comps as my primary sticks and will use the U360 unrestricted for analog (and Q Bert) only. I'm certainly in the minority though as almost everyone seems to love the U360.
TheShanMan:
Sometimes people (myself included) expect too much of the stick. It really is the ideal "all purpose" stick, but that doesn't mean it's perfect or even close to perfect for all games. Nor does it mean that it will be the best stick for any given game. I love my mag stik plus when I'm playing a 4 way game I'm really serious about (like DK), and I'm certainly less than satisfied using my u360 with restrictors on analog games. But I've learned to just appreciate it for what it's great at - being a universal stick. And for that I'm very happy. My kids don't want to worry about 4 way vs. 8 way, or which stick is best for which game. They just want to play so there simply isn't a better stick for them.

Since it sounds like you don't really want your octagonal restrictors, I would be interested in buying them if you're willing to sell them for a nice price. I'm not certain enough that I'll stick with them to pay full price for new ones, but I'll take the chance on buying some used ones.

I only had one, and I tried to modify it a bit to increase the throw. That, uh, didn't go so well.

I got my springs and restrictors today. I love the harder spring! However I don't like the restrictors, they just don't feel good and I seem to be more confident in pulling off moves without it.
