I'm putting together a MAME cab and want the player1 stick to be 4/8-way switchable. So far, I've decided on the OMNI2 as a solution. I don't see much point in spending the extra money to use an OMNI for player2 as well. What 8-way stick would you guys recommend for P2 that would be the same height as the OMNI2 and would have a similar feel? I am hoping to order everything from GGG so would the Roundhouse, Spitfire, or Zippyy be suitable? Or should I just spend the extra $18 or whatever to avoid the hassle?
Thanks in advance.

I have a similar setup. Used the spitfire. Play is great and only visual difference is shaft is about 1/16 thinner on spitfire than omni. You can check pics in my sig link.

If you want an 8-way only version of the same stick, order 2 OMNI2's (in whatever configuration you want), and state in the order comments that you want one to be a fixed 8-way. We'll give you a good discount on the cost of the second one.

Le Chuck: Thanks for the response. I checked out your bartop, it is Le Awesome! I've never been a fan of bartops but after seeing yours I may just build one of my own. BTW, that servo mod is epic.
Randy: Cool! I'll do just that. I'll likely be putting in my order in the next few days. Thanks.

Totally wish I had thought to do that now. Oh well, live and learn. I have more to buy from you anyway Randy.
RabidRabit - kind words indeed, really appreciate it. It was a fun project and I just have a few loose ends to wrap up on it software wise. :cheers:

I'm also looking at doing the same thing with my control panel as was described in the thread. If I order the Omni2 with the fixed 8-way what would the discount be over the standard pricing?
Thanks!

Customer service doesn't get much better than that!
@RabidRabit: Thanks for asking the question; my guess is there were a number of us pondering that very thing.
