and here is delusional2971's review of it (not much of a review, but it shows the stick off a little)

Those supposive Pac-man type replacment sticks are NOT for everyone. IMHO they are absolutely horrible. Why?
These are micro switch and are stiff. Hand fatique sets in rather quickly.
You are better off going with a leaf spring type of joystick for comfort.
I added these switch type joys to a multi I made and dear lord .... I hate them.


This has been discussed many times and the outcome is almost always the same. People that have owned or currently have an original Pac hate the clickity stiff feeling of these. I for one am one of those people.

I actually prefer microswitched sticks over leaf spring sticks. I have a custom USB control panel here with leafsprings and I don't really like playing on it in the long run. I feel I have more control with micro-switched sticks, but that's just me I suppose.

I think I will order everything from Ultimarc and go for the Sanwa JWL's. They have proven good in the past and I don't see why I should change that. :)
Ginsu Victim:
Yeah, like I said, since you're already used to the JLWs, you should just go with those.

I will. Just wanted to see if there were any godly sticks I hadn't heard of. ;) Thanks for the input!
