Title: anyone ever use one of these?
Post by: nomad on April 04, 2005, 07:13:16 pm

I was just checking out eBay and found an adapter that converts a wico joystick into a P360.  Anyone ever use one of these?

I haven't PERSONALLY used one, but I hear they are top notch, better than a real P360 if you have a good condition Wico base to use.

Thanks for the response.  I'm curious how the adapter feels in comparison to the leaf switches though.  So, has anyone personally used the adapter?

Who makes these and/or are they available outside of ebay?

I don't think those are made at all anymore.

There should be no difference in feel between that and a leaf, only difference is that the 8 directions will all be perfect.

Wow thats my auction! Lol.  Yeah the adapters work great!!  If you allready have a wico I'd highly recomend them for 8-way mode.  I don't like them so much in 4-way mode though.  I'd rather stick with the leaf switches for 4-way.

I have four of these p360 wico adaptors, brand new,  if anyone wants them.  I bought them not knowing they weren't the Happs P360's and cannot use them.

Those adapters USED to be THE Perfect 360 joystick.  Happ bought the company that made them, and quit making adapters for their competitors product.
