Stiff springs for Ultrastik 360
Turnarcades:
I've never liked sticks that feel too soft or that have too long a 'throw' anyway, as seemed to be the norm for later arcade machines and fighters. Sure, it was easier on the wrist over time, but fo the moves some fighters require, I preferred joysticks that gave a more positive feedback for each direction and were much harder wearing, like the Suzo's I tend to stick to.
GAtekwriter:
That answers that... thanks for the feedback, all. I'm going to order the stiffer springs.

and a circular restrictor?
GAtekwriter:
What does the restrictor give me? I want the full functionality of the U360s (including programmability) so I'm not sure how a restrictor will benefit my design...

The restrictors have multiple functions.
The circular one shortens the throw. Without it, there's a very long travel distance. (The circular restrictor is considered a MUST by most U360 owners, myself included)
The square one limits movement to a square range of motion, best used for 4-way games in a diamond arrangement. Some like it for 8-way square movement, as you can feel the corners better.
The octagonal is sort of between the square and circular. You can feel each direction, but not as harsh. Easier circular movement than the square, but not anywhere as good as the circular restrictor (obviously).
Like I said, most people prefer to have the circular installed because of the extremely long throw. You won't lose any function of the stick using restrictors.
