Ultimarc 360 vs GPWiz49 Head to Head
squirrellydw:
I would like to see how it compares to a P360 in throw. The Ultimarc 360 seems like it has a lot of throw, I would like to see a picture of both. If they are similar I will have some P360 for sale, never used.

Which makes them about as alike as any other two joysticks on the market.
If we followed your logic above, we couldn't do comparisons between any of the switchable 4/8-ways and a dedicated 4-way because the 4/8-way was designed to also do 8-way.

But almost all of them happen to be similiar in design. Are you really trying to use that analogy? Restricted sticks vs an analog or 49-way posing as 8-way. Totally different. Your analogy doesn't fit what so ever.
If you try to compare these two sticks head to head you're going to be disappointed.

That's what you REALLY want. You want to know how each of these work compared to actual 8-ways, not to each other. I highly doubt most people are buying these sticks as anything more than do-it-all types. 49-ways and analogs are going to feel very different from one another. What you really want to know is how each feels to the actual 8-way that you want to compare it to. Because when you install them, you're not going to care how a 49-way feels compared to an analog (unless you're using one to play the relatively few games intended for the other), you're going to care how they play your favorite games, of which, almost all are either 8 or 4 way.

I would love to see a direct comparison between the 2... particularly when used as all-purpose sticks.
As opposed to building an all purpose control panel with many types of sticks, I am seeking an all purpose stick that plays close enough. I know it won't be as good as a dedicated 4-way with diamond restrictor (for instance), but thats the sacrifice I will make in order to get a simplified CP.

Geez if you thought comparing a 49 way to the 360 is like apples and oranges, then comparing the 49 way OR the 360 to an 8-way is like what? Prunes to banana's maybe?
I just want to know how each of these solutions matches up to what it's designed for:
- As an all around solution, a veritable 'do it all' type of setup.
- Which has the best software solution to program the unit.
- Which has the easiest quickest method to change from Pac-man to sinistar without leaving the front end or fiddling underneath my panel?
- Which is the easiest to install?
- Which one works better in a wood control panel?
- Which one has the most options? which more configurable?
- Which is the best bang for the buck?
- And YES which one 'feels' better when playing pac-man in each of it's 'software' (or whatever you call it) restricted 4 way mode. (or sinistar 49 way mode, or fighter 8 way mode, or whatever else there is).
I really don't see where you are copming from and why we cannot do a head to head with these two "all in one" solutions.
