You're thinking of the Happs compact sticks with the button - they do suck, and they're the ones on cranes.
The Happs firebutton supers (yes I have one on my homemade panel) are quite good. They feel pretty much like a super, the only "negative" is they just don't have that classic joystick look.
-P-
: I was also tempted in getting these joystics from Happ, to play games like Assault, battlezone, etc.
: However, once I saw the screenshots, I was dissapointed... the joysticks look exactly the same as the ones you see on 'toy crane' machines... the ones with a big cabinet and ametalic crane, where you control it to grab stuffed toys... and I have felt these joysticks... they're terrible.
: Mind you, I might be wrong about the similarity of these... I only saw the picture on happ's page! Anyone else have anything to say about these?
