In Reply to: Opinions wanted - we're considering a change to ball-top joysticks! posted by Chris W (OzStick) on 18, 2001 at 9:35 PM:
I generally prefer bat sticks over ball-top, but in general, I've found what really effects the feel of a joystick (at least for me) is the range of motion needed and the sensitivity of the switch...
: As stated in the subject, we are looking at a possible change from Happ joysticks to ball-top sticks from a different supplier, for a few reasons:
: - No other 'commercial' entity currently offers them.
: - They are competitively priced (Australia is an expensive place to send parcels!)
: - They are excellent quality, look great and feel very nice to use.
: - We don't mind being a little bit different!
: I'm in the process of testing at the moment, (which is great because I've had precious little time to actually PLAY games lately) and although I'm biased I have to say these sticks are fantastic.
: We are very interested in feedback from all the BYOAC regulars, because you guys have been there and done that, and you appreciate the significance of such a decision.
: I look forward to reading your responses.
: Cheers,
