U360 owners and users with octagonal restrictor please chime in.

i bought the octagonal restrictors, but i really didn't care for them. i went from using x-arcade sticks to the u360s. i have the longer shafts and the medium springs...i much prefer the feel of them without the restrictors. i had problems pulling off tap moves (barakas blade attack was impossible)..until i adjusted the 8way map to increase the dead zone in the middle..now it works great. i can pull off moves just fine, and i think it is easier to pull off the dragon punch moves in sf much easier now than with my x-arcade sticks.
the throw is slightly longer than my xarcade sticks were, but only slightly. with the restrictor, the throw was pretty short...too short for my taste.
i'd suggest making the dead zone larger in your map and try that first, you may be pleasantly surprised.

Thanks
Now I just have to figure out how to do that.
I've been using led blinkys software to control the maps so I haven't used the ultrasticks mapping program.

i use a mala u360 plugin to control my maps, so that is no problem. just open up the 8way map in the ultramap program and make the center deadzone one square larger on all sides, it makes a big difference
Visitor Q:
Seem here, I went from the x-arcade as well to the 360s. I like the limited throw but as I stated above, I really wish there was more spring there. Even with the hard springs they tend to feel a little weak to me compared to my 4-way which I love to death! :-*

I read in another thread that someone went to like Ace hardware and got some much stiffer springs for their u360's. They just took one out and took it with them to get the correct diameter.
