Help me choose some joysticks...
NOkontrol:
I'm planning a 2 player CP something like a mameroom/slickstik setup, definitely will have a spinner and a trackball, at least six buttons per player, maybe a two way and/or a four way.
Most important decision would be the two main sticks...opinions please ;)
It seems like the U360's are pretty popular, are these the end-all joys or what?
I'm running quite a few emus including PS1 & 2 so I can see how the analog capability would be a plus there but don't want to have issues playing 4 or 8 way games.
The mag-stik plus seems nice but since it's not analog, I'm assuming this would limit the accuracy of control for some games, correct?
Any other options I should be considering or are the U360's the undefeated champs for now?
Thanks!

i love my u360s if you want a stick that can do it all, they are the only choice. THey work excellent in 8 way, 4way, 2 way, 4way diagonal..etc..you name it, it does it.
i cant say that it is the perfect stick for every application, but it does kick some serious butt. i still prefer the feel of a dedicated 4 way stick for 4way games, just due to the feel of having a physical restrictor, but i can honestly say that i feel that the u360 performs as well in 4way games as the dedicated 4way sticks i have used...sometimes better.
they are a little pricey, but worth it.

U360. The only real choice. ;D

For fighters? I know people can get fairly aggressive and wouldn't want it getting busted on those quarter circle turns.

The U360 feels very different from a traditional switch-based stick. I doubt durability is an issue, but I really can't see going with them if you play a lot of fighters. Their appeal is their flexibility and ease of use. I ended up going with Happ Comps as my primary sticks, although I do have a U360 for analog and some other games.
