Title: joystick 4 and 8 way??
Post by: squirrellydw on December 22, 2005, 03:43:42 pm

I need a suggestion for a 4 and 8 way joystick?  the 4 way can't get stuck in the corners, would like to use it for pac man type games along with mortal kombat.

Thanks

T-Stick plus from Ultimarc. They have quite a heavy spring and too limited travel for some people, but it's easily switchable and I can't see how it'd get suck in the corners ??? There's the mag-stick now though which I assume has a much lighter return as it's magnetic. http://www.ultimarc.com/controls.html

I knew of that one but I wasn't sure if it would get stuck.  Any other ones?

Thanks

Hit the link in my tag.  I have about 3 offerings you might be interested in.  Drop me an email if you need more info, or search the forums for discussions regarding them.

I'd like to get one of these two - a switchable from above - I think.  I'd like to put one into the X-arcade I just got.  I didn't realize how much I would notice the need for one playing 4 way games...but it's DEFINITELY noticeable (the difficulty hitting the straight up and down).

That and it bugged the wife :). (the difficulty) so I dont want to lose her on the few games she does like.
