I have read on some threads that if you have more than one U360 they could have a different assignment after a reboot. in other words the player 1 joy would become player 2 and vise versa. With both of them plugged into the MB and not using a hub you should have no problem as long as you don't move the plugs around. I know that Andy is trying to fix this but it only happens rarely.

Kaytrim - I don't think that applies to the U360's. That can be a problem when two devices use the same circuit controller (device driver), same USB controller (Pair of motherboard USB ports), and same USB Device ID (UID).
The UID for the U360's can be selected through software, so if you did have this problem, you should be able to re-assign one of them and be fine.

You just now getting around to talking about this Tiger? You're getting slow. ;D I was just going to post about this very thing and the list of items to be ordered from GGG.

If you get the U360s make sure that they are plugged into separate paired USB ports. You have 4 on your MB so you have two paired sets of ports. A paired set will have one port on top of the other. Next plug in the hub that you have on your list into the MB and plug in all the GGG USB devices into that. Due to the amount of LEDs that you have you will need to supply additional 5v power to the LEDWiz boards. Randy includes instructions on how to do that on his site and in the package with the LEDWiz.
Otherwise you look good to go. If you want to wait for Randy to release the GGG49-way sticks you could pick up two Happ Competition sticks to tide you over. You won't have 4-way but they have similar action to the Midway 49-way sticks that I have. Randy just posted an update today in the main forum stating that he hopes to release the new stick and interface soon.
TTFN :cheers:

If you decide on comp tide-overs: you can have a restricted-function 4-way mode if you set mame properly. Once in the direction, desired, twice in the direction(s) not desired will yield: (for example) UP not RIGHT not LEFT.

T-H is correct. The Ultrastik 360s can have individual IDs assigned and in fact must have for the mapping software to work properly. This problem won't happen.
Don't forget that you can connect 8 buttons to each U360 as well.
I don't think you would regret having the true analog capability of the U360s.

Perhaps, (I think I missed the FEB posting until the thread bump. . . ) Do you have a link for the Kaytrim Kustoms? OTOH, it bothers me that you still don't seem to be getting it.

No, as Andy said, the 360's can be in the same ports or any even a hub in the same port b/c you can (must) set a different UID for each one.

No again, the LEDWiz's should NOT be plugged into the same hub and should be in separate ports, UNLESS you specifically order them with different UID's at the time of order. These can NOT be set in software. Same goes for the Opti-Wiz's as well, AFAIK, but don't quote me on that part. 8)
