Happs Perfect 360 vs. Ulitmarc Ultrastik 360
urbecrisch:
I'm looking to purchase two 360 joysticks for a 2 player CP I'm building cause I don't want a dedicated 4-way joystick. Are they pretty similar. I read the Wiki and checked both websites but I want to hear from the actual gamers out there.
Which 360 do you prefer and why?
Jeff AMN:
I have two Happs Perfect 360s and love them. I've noticed that the board is really getting behind the Ultimarcs. I haven't tried both, but I wouldn't ever hesitate to recommend the P360s to anybody, especially on a 2-player panel in a figher type setup.

uber, I've been reading alot about these Ultrastiks from Ultimarc.
They seem to be popular because you can program maps to make it work as 2-way, 4-way, 8-way, rotated 4-way (Q-Bert), so it seems the Ultrastik is very versatile in that respect. And with MaLa, you can load these joystickmaps before launching a game, on the fly as it were...
I'm thinking of going them in my CP... have a read of retroblast's reviews... he has reviewed both the Happ 360 and the Ultrastik 360...

I have both: P360 and U360.
P360 I use for shmups games only. BUT -> I have moded shaft (shorter SlikStik heavy shaft with heavy ball, better mod is with lighter spring and lighter shaft and ball) and actuator (I must only touch joystick to engage).
Why U360 not for shmups? Because default spring and 2 additional old springs are wrong. Now I will test new spring (maybe in weekend), maybe will be fine.
U360 is great without modify, P360 is weak without modify.
In U360 you can easy enable different modes, in P360 it's very hard, I can say impossible, generally it's 8-way stick only.
Summary:
- P360 without mod -> throw to trash
- U360 without mod -> excellent for all but shmups
- P360 with mod -> excellent for shmups
- U360 with new spring -> ... we will see ;)
If you don't want to buy both joysticks (probably you don't want :D) then buy U360.
And remember - sometimes (for some games) standard joystick with microswitches will be better than P360 or U360 then you always can mount one of this type joystick to your cabinet.

This is really an apples vs. oranges because the sticks are that different.
The big difference is that the U-360 will do 49-way and analog games, in addition to the normal 2/4/8-way.
The P-360 is an 8-way digital stick, and is not functionally any different than an 8-way Wico.
