Which Joystick To Choose??

<< < (2/3) > >>

I'm going to use the T-Stik Plus once I start building my cabinet. Simply because (as mentioned) you can switch from the top without having to add an additonal 4-way controller to your CP. Currently, I have a HotRod which uses Happs Super's. Most of the time it is ok for 4-way games (when used in default 8-way mode) but can be a nightmare when playing some games.

If 4 way is important to you... you will want something specific. 

happs supers are great 8way... but they stink for 4way.

but if you can find a wico 4way they are pretty good and mount well in wood.   Or the happs mspacman revo. joystick is GREAT... but requires a mounting kit.

note:  supers and ultimates (and most 8way joysticks...even with 4way settings) you will prefer to play games with your keyboard....  this does NOT include the JSticks... these have restrictor plates on the bottom of the joystick which restrict the motions.

I'm curious to see how the happs 49way + the new keywiz 49way will handle it... If this works well we might have a great all round joystick solution.

I went with 2 joysticks myself (3 actually... have a dedicated qbert/congobongo stick) and am very happy

On my cocktail I went with a pair of Reunion sticks with one (leaf) button each.

On my big cab I have a pair of Perfect 360's with NOS Robotron style handles installed (6 buttons each), 3" trackball, vortex spinner, Wico 4-way and a happs universal set to 4-way mode and rotated 45 degrees for Congo Bongo.

Ideally I would like to pick up a pair of NOS Wico 4-ways to replace the (kind of worn) Wico 4-way and the Universal which doesn't match the other 3 sticks.

I have the oval handled J-stick and really like it for 8-way play.  I am not a HUGE player of 4-way games (I like them, but I generally play 8-way games), so the 4-way works well enough for me.  I like the action on the j-stick... it makes me happy.

You're making me want to do this. Do you really think this is better than original WICO 8-way leafs?
