Title: Looking for a u360 replacement
Post by: ivwshane on July 03, 2011, 02:56:30 pm

I have a pair of u360's which I love but they just aren't durable enough. I've used my player one stick for maybe a total of 40 hours and it's no longer accurate (the magnet at the bottom of the shaft hits the pcb mounting screws).

I thought I saw that ultimarc was coming out with a new design that was supposed to fix this but I don't see it on their site yet.

So basically I'm looking for something like a u360 but is more durable. Does something like that exist?

I noticed it hit the screws as well, but then I added the round restrictor and that solved it.  That's my only gripe with those sticks, they are useless in my opinion without the round or octagonal restrictor AND hard springs, then they rock.

I take it that means there is nothing comparable? I just want my stick to work and last.

I can't see using the stick without a restrictor. And I can't see any analog game really needing the travel.

Just use restrictors. I don't see how anyone could use U360s without them. I prefer the circular ones.
