| Best joystick for Xybots? |
| (1/1) |
| dirkomatic:
I know I'm strange, but Xybots was one of my all time favorites. Right now I play it with and 8-way and use buttons to rotate, but I'd like to find a stick that works a little more like the original that I can use for other games, too. I know, it's a pipe dream... I'm thinking the Happ 8-way optical rotary may work fairly well for it. Does anyone have any experience with how well this stick works for Xybots? |

LS-30's work just fine. I would assume the Happs would work just as well since they can be used as a replacement for Ikari Warriors according to Happs. |

For that, yeah the Ikari style would probably be a better bet. They show up occasionally on eBay. I got one a few years ago as this game is one of my favs too. The rotating part is just a leaf switch when either way is rotated, nothing fancy IIRC. I have yet to wire it up yet to my panel though. ~telengard (goes to dig out his joystick) |
