Adding a 4 way stick - CP Modification
(1/2) > >>
LLUncoolJ:
I've attached a pic of my control panel as it is currently. I am replacing my Ultimarc Magic Stik Pluses with Happ competitions. I am going to add a 4 way stick in one of the 2 marked places.  I am pretty limited as I don't want to rebuild the entire panel. I know above the trackball will hinder Golden Tee play. And location B makes it a little uncomfortable to play Donkey Kong and such that require an action button (Although I play Tempest with the spinner and the P1 buttons now).

Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

If you can, shoehorn it in where your pause button is and move pause to location A or B.

So you've ditched switchable sticks to go with the extra expense and clutter of a dedicated 4-way? That's like going back 5 years.

The Ultimarcs just have such a short throw. They are superior in construction, but they don't feel right.

Yeah, Flake mentioned the same thing. Only problem is that the action buttons are beneath the stick...probably will feel funky.

So really it would be better to get bat-tops with a softer, longer throw that are 4/8-way switchable (like Sanwas) or programmable (U360) than try to retro-fit a stick that is likely to be uncomfortable to play on due to a compromised location.
