Hello Arcade Controls Forum members!
I am building a 4 player control panel, with a fifth joystick for older games.
I intend to only play MAME games.
Because I am going to have the 5th joystick in my panel, I don't believe I need to have switchable joysticks.
I prefer the lollipop/ball top joysticks which is good, since I would like to illuminate the joysticks as discussed in The Project Arcade book, and on this thread http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=114677.0 (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=114677.0)
Do people agree that I do not need to get switchable joysticks, and instead should get 4 excellent 8 way and 1 excellent 4 way joystick?
I would prefer 1 true 4 way joystick so I don't experience any dead stick.
If that is the consensus, would you suggest these joysticks?
4-way: http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65&products_id=340 (http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65&products_id=340)
8-way: http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65&products_id=366 (http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65&products_id=366)
And then upgrade them per the thread.
As an alternative, I am willing to consider the joysticks from Paradise arcade, or if the GGG Ice sticks come in, those.
Thanks for the thoughts and opinions,
Dan
