Ultimarc t-sticks - Why do you have to pay exra for balltop?

<< < (2/3) > >>

etumor:
The T-stick and the J-stick, in addition to having different features, have a radically different feel.  The feature set is better on the T-stick, but I think most people would prefer the "feel" of the J-stick.  It has a looser feel that is closer to the feel of old school 4-way games.  If you aren't interested in the switching mechanism of the T-stick, then the J-stick is probably a better choice anyway.

I'm glad they are sold seperately since I prefer to use them on my Competitions.  I have one on a bartop I'm currently building and am going to have one of each color for a 4 player setup (just need green and black now.)  I wish the blue was a little darker, but I guess it's better than no balltop at all.

Since I emailed Andy with this exact question ,here is your answer.

Seems pretty reasonable to me,I decided to go with J-stick based on peoples review of the feel between the t- and j- sticks.Hope this helps..

Just got my J stick in the mail, its a 4 way stick, it has a red ball on top, so why would anyone pay the extra money for the T stick and the ball top? I say get the J stick, save the money.

The reasons, as previously mentioned, are for the switchable functionablity, and the fact that it makes for a really good Q*Bert stick.  But if all you want is straight 4-way functionality, then I agree that the J-stick is the way to go.
