best 8-way joystick?
paigeoliver:
I will second the idea that there is no BEST. Different games play better with different joysticks. So there is no BEST, but I can tell you the WORST, Happ's Ultimate and Competition are pretty much the worst joysticks commercially available at the moment. Both use a defective design with diagonals that are much larger than the primary directions, no games NEED that, and it makes a lot of games really hard. Circle games like Robotron especially suck with those sticks.
No one ever talks about the Happ's Universal, but I like it, it has been growing on me over the years. It is especially good for Q*Bert.
Gradius:
The best is the TStik. Second place is for the Universal Stick.

Just throwing in my 2 cents.
I like Wico Leaf 8 ways personally. I guess there are repro ones that are close to the original available. Diagonals are easy but once in a while you may have to adjust the leafs.

Another for the Wico 8-way leafs, I love them, they even work great for me in 4 way games.

I personally prefer the P360s for my 8 way fighter sticks. Just so smooth!
