Title: joystick question
Post by: snstay on June 24, 2014, 09:31:49 pm
Hey all first post ;D. Im in the process of building a cabinet and i seen some people have a dedicated 4 way joystick. What are the pros and cons of having that or the 4/8 way joystick.

Well, the con of having a 3rd dedicated joystick for 4-way is that it takes up extra room.
The con of having a 4/8 way switchable is access to the switching.
Also it means that the switching stick will have square like movement while in 8 way as opposed to smooth round action.
You can go with something like the servo stik from ultimarc.
