Title: 4-way Joystick
Post by: collywobbles007 on July 25, 2008, 04:56:57 pm

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can buy a good 4-way joystick. I wanted the one the replacement Pac-Man joystick from Happ Controls http://www.happcontrols.com/joysticks/5060841125r.htm but the button to buy it has disappeared - I've emailed Happ regarding its availability but have not had a response. I don't really want a 8-4 way switchable.

If anyone knows anywhere else I can buy it or something similar I'd be grateful!

Thanks,
Collywobbles

I know that you said you didn't want a 4-8 way switchable stick but this is the best option in my book.  Set the restrictor on this joystick to 4 way mode and forget it.

I like the look of Ultimarc's J-Stiks. Do they really play and feel like true 4-ways? They're really only going to be used for the older classics like Pac-Man and I want a true 4-way feel.

As of a few days ago divemaster had one of the ms pacman reunion sticks left. I guess happ doesn't make them anymore. I was going to get it but went for the J-stick instead. I'd give him a pm if you are interested.

Try to find a wico 4-way from someone here or on ebay. It is definitely worth the effort to find one.
