Ball tops or bat tops?

(1/8) > >>

severdhed:
hey guys, what type of joysticks do you guys prefer for everyday mame usage?  For a dedicated 4 way, it has to be a ball top...but for the 8way sticks, i'm not sure.  i have only ever used bat top sticks.  i am getting ready to build a 4 player panel and i need to get some new sticks.  i know i like bat tops, but I am considering going with ball tops..i'm just afraid i won't like them as much.  (i am trying to match the player control colors with the TMNT games, but nobody seems to make purple bat top joysticks, so i am thinking about ball top JLWs.but then the sticks wont match the happ buttons since they are different shades)

it's either that or i just go with black bat tops for all of them...

what do you guys think?

nitz:
For everyday Mame 8 way usage, it's gotta be bat tops. I need a ball top for games like Pac-Man and DK and some of the other classics, but when it comes to fighters, beat 'em ups, and most other 8 way games, a ball top would just feel wrong to me. My 2 cents.

shfifty:
it comes down to personal preference. Apples and oranges. I like ball tops, others like bat tops.

You should just get both, try both for a while and see what you prefer. Its easy enough to swap them and they only cost like $3

I prefer bat tops.  My problem is that I can't find anywhere that has a good selection of colored bat tops.  Any suggestions guys?
