Yes. The p360s are great joysticks (corner-less). They need a power supply unlike most 8-ways, but that's easy to do (and talked about a lot here).

The us360 is great, but if all he's going to use it for is as an 8-way, there's little advantage of getting the us360 over the p360. (FWIW, I have a couple us360s, and enjoy them as my 8-ways, but also as analog sticks for those games.)

Ok thanks guys. Wanted to be sure that I will be able to play all range of games.

That means that it won't output a diagonal that will mess up a 4-way game, like the P-360 will.

Can you play a pac man and then a Street Fighter II without spending an hour configuring it?
I guess I am asking if this can be configured to happen automatically per game, or based on a keyboard keystroke?
thanks

It is very easy to switch modes for the U-360 via software. A few clicks and done. Or, if you're running MaLa as a front-end, it is all automatic if you install my UltraStikMapperPlugin software. If you do this, the mode automatically switches to the correct mode for the game you have selected and it is completely unnoticeable.

I will second this and thank fatfingers at the same time.
U360's with Mala and FF's automagic software download is da bomb.
It was incredibly easy to set up and install and is 100% no fuss once you get it running. I even have 2 of them on my cocktail setup and it worked flawlessly.
The only thing I had to do was rename a file to get qbert to load. For whatever reason the map file was named wrong or missing or whatever. I don't recall anymore, but I only spent 20 minutes on it.
