I had no trouble performing all the moves in streetfighter. That was the extent so far, had to go out of town, but was very impressed.

I can second that.  I much prefer the feel of the mag-stick to the T-stick.  Don't get me wrong - the T-stick is good, but the Mag-Stick feels a lot more precise and consistent.  The switch actuation just seems to be 'cleaner' as well - don't really understand how that could be possible, but there is a distinct difference in feel between the two.... you'd have to have them side-by-side and test them back-to-back (which I have done) to notice the improvement... I'm not sure the difference or improvement would be that evident if you haven't tried a T-stick before.

You guys that just got them, do you notice that they dont center as well? I just got a chance to test my t-stick with my new ipac, and it centers fabulously, but because I still have the heavy switches, it's definitely a chore on games where you're leaning on one side of the stick a lot.

Rio Rebel:
I just started learning of arcade building/buying, and this joystick has me very interested.

Since this joystick can be converted from 4 to 8 way without opening the control panel, I would think people would be all over it.  I have been looking at the upright kit from Dream Arcades and was leaning away from it because it didn't have a 4 way stick and they don't customize.  Now I'm reconsidering it because I'm thinking I could buy the Mag Stick Plus and switch it with one of the two main sticks, and there you go (well, I'd still be lacking a spinner, but that's something I may be able to live with.  I couldn't live without a 4-way).

Any thoughts?

We can do custom sicks, it just take a little longer to get your arcade sent out.
