If you are looking to replace joysticks for a fighter, I would highly recommend the Competition model. It is much better than the Ultimate model. I use the Competition ones on my Virtua Fighter 2....excellent. richmlow

krakboi, I'm in Hayward, CA....not too far away from San Jose, CA. =) richmlow

krakboi, Ahh!!.....so that's you! I had a feeling that it was you, because I recognized you from a recent SJ auction. You got the White Water pinball, right!? I'm sure we'll meet up at an event in the future....glad to make your acquaintance. =) Richard M. Low

Here a few photos of CAX 2003. They really don't reflect the coolness of the event (you have to be there in person to experience it!). http://homepage.mac.com/richmlow/PhotoAlbum4.html Richard M. Low

I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for an 8-way joystick? I'm replacing the joysticks on a Virtua Fighter 2. I did try out an 8-way "Ultimate" Happ joystick, but am not entirely satisfied with it. The actuator moves a bit and the joystick does not center completely, causing...
