Guest Actuary11235 Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Hey Everyone! If I care about performance what are the best joysticks out there? How about buttons? I have some of both in my pre-configured cabinet but want to see if I'm missing out. Thanks!
MontyQ Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 I would say its all personal taste/feel some people like a harder stick that springs back fast and hard, other like a loose stick ect. Same with buttons from a spongy feel to a hard clicky feel. I would also say depends on what kind of games you play and some sticks work a lot better in fighting games then they do in say pacman. In my dk3 cab its and original stick and feels perfect to play donkeykong but if I try to play the same game in my Mario bros cab which has stiff happ sticks I find it almost impossible to do so as its just too stiff for my like. I would like to know has anyone here tried or uses the magnetic centered joysticks and how do they feel when playing ?
gigapig Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 I personally like leaf switches for the 80's feel and lack of a click you get from micro switches. I had to go for gold leaf buttons on my current setup. My joystick is a cheap ball top ziippy but I really want a joystick I can switch between 4 and 8 way.

JogZter Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 There probably is no satisfying answer to your question, since there are just so many different manufacturers and types of sticks out there on the market I, similar to gigapig, prefer these T-Sticks (4/8 ways) from arcadeshop.de. Also, I have come to meet the seller as a very reliable and friendly seller to deal with. I had tons of questions when I built my first cab and almost on a daily basis asked some stuff. I also bought lots of gizmos with the guy for my VPin later on. Excellent service and delivery times. Back to the sticks though The T-Sticks are original fighting sticks that were also featured in the MK arcade. They have a nice feel and relatively short response time. It depends on what kind of games you love playing most, I guess. For the occasional SHMUP, fighting game and some MS I sure do love em.
rgm2000 Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 I prefer the Suzo HAPP competition stick and the GGG SmoothStick from groovygamegear.com. I like the sensitivity of these sticks as I am a street fighter fan. I have also the Ultimarc u360 analog stick from ultimarc.com for games that uses analog controls, but I am looking where I can buy the Perfect 360 joystick from Suzo HAPP as this is in my opinion the farmost precise joystick out there. Anyone a suggestion besides from the Suzo HAPP site itself? Because I don't have a creditcard and they don't accept paypal. Thanks in advanced ;-)

ninjalo Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 I'm using a Sanwa joystick and buttons in my SF4 stick, but once I start on my cab I'm going full Happ, just because that's what I grew up with
