That is what 8-way is all about  ::)

HA..I meant the opposite.  Sometimes both switches WOULDN'T click down at the same time.

I am far from an expert on different brands, but have you used the j-stiks with the longer shafts and done a full undermount?  With the longer shafts they are far less stiff and have a longer throw.  I use the stiffer springs and they are still way more loose feeling than with the standard spring and standard length shaft.  And the u360's with the top mount restrictors and long shafts are very smooth, got a nice medium throw, and very little resistance.  Moving the restrictor from 8-way to 4-way mode makes a world of difference in 4-way games.  And you can dial in how it reads 8-way in the software.  I found games like metal slug way easier to play on the u360's than on the j-stiks (servostiks).  But with all the added accessories, they are spendy.

I'm really not sure why anyone wants long throw on a 4-way stick.
To me, a 4-way should be tight and quick.

I found the omni2 to have too much throw in 4 way and I'm getting a little tired of my sanwa Jlw for 4 way.
The jlw's throw is just slightly less than the omni2's

Yeah but in this case, it isn't due to the short quick shaft, but the stick is stiff with an overly strong pushback.
