And how are they all-in-all?

Thanks!!

I've got one of those joysticks.  The throw is medium (not short like T-stick, but not as long as Happ Super).  The spring is one of the lightest of the joysticks I have used, but return to center is fine.  A lot of the guys who play fighting games swear by these sticks.  I rate them behind Wico 8-ways and P360s.

AE35:
Wow...quick answer.

I bought a pair of competitions, and we think that the throw is too long, and it has too weak return to center.

Is the Sanwa better in these areas?

I live in Denmark, so we're mostly used to very short throw. I have an original JK cabinet with the original sticks, we put the comps on, but went back to the originals. They are EXTREMELY fast. I like that. When you let go of the stick BAM, back in center.

'm thinking of buying the T-Sticks from ponyboy, but how are the magnetic sticks? any interference with electronics/monitor? (and are they blazing fast?)

Thanks!

(extra by-the-way question :))

If I order a T-stick, what color is it?





Which of the blue colors are the one I would get?

The first (brighter) one is the blue on the Ultimarc stick.

The T-Sticks feel very tight and have a very (very) short throw. Ideal for twitch gaming and shooters but I prefer longer throw sticks for fighters.

Overall though if a short throw is what you're used to and combined with the ability to switch from 8 way to 4 way and back again with just a twist of the stick, they are an excellent product.
