The U360 is an analog stick; it's firmware then takes the analog input and, depending on how it's setup, emulates a 4-way or 8-way etc. There is no tactile feedback as to when a direction is engaged, since there aren't any switches to trigger. This obviously leads to there not being an audible 'click' either. The travel is much longer than something like a Happ Comp, and there are also no corners. There is a restrictor plate available to shorten the throw (apparently very popular) and also an octagonal one (less common; I personally liked it) to add some more feedback.
There is no question the U360 is a great choice, and it will make both setting-up and using the panel a bit easier. I just could never get used to the feel. I ended up with a Happ Comp as my primary stick, although I do have a U360 on my panel mainly for analog games. I'm far from an expert on fighters, but I found I liked the Happ better for them, as well as for most shooters and platformer games. Personal preference of course, and YMMV.

There are 3 restrictor plates (square, circular, and octagonal), you can change the spring stiffness, and there are two shaft lengths.
