Thinking about switching joysticks again on my Sterns

Hey Guys,

I keep hearing about how good optical joysticks are and I'm looking at the Happ Perfect 360, I've got one good joystick at the moment for two Berzerks and a Frenzy so I need more, and as much as I love the Wico thats currently in my Berzerk, I'm still having to mess with the points a little bit.

Has one installed the Happ Perfect 360 on older games? I know I'll need to supply a seperate 5+ volts for the optical sensor but was looking more for people's opinions on the operation of the joystick itself in older games.

Thanks

i have wico 360s in one cab.
i've spent a lot of time with them and do not think they are superior to wico leaf 8ways. the "feel" isn't quite there.

i've been playing a bit of frenzy with an old midway pacman stick (leafs adjusted so it does 8 way nicely) and the short throw is really responsive for that type of game.

And that is exactly what I wanted to know! So out to get more Wico leaf joysticks! Thank you so much 1500points!
 
The Happ 360 is the perfect replacement in a Berzerk. If someone would come up with a Bat-stick replica shaft that would fit into the 360 base, I'd be in heaven. Your 5v line should already be running to the cp for the original optical, which you just tie into the 360 5v input.

Really??? Ok now I have two response for both comment . . . ummmm. I'm tempted to get one and see which I like more, I have the Wico and I know about it, but there are times when I have struggle aiming with it because some of the leafs are bent slight funny.


Hmmm don't know what I should do . . .
 
NIXS has NOS 360 conversions, reasonable too.
might as well find out on your own.
curiousity is why i did it too.
the 5 vs is no big deal. doesn't draw much, you can even run from a USB cord if you are doing mame.
