4-way vs 8-way joystick with the Mag-Stik-Plus Arcade Joystick

Part of my "How to build an arcade cabinet" article.

This video helped me realize how I had misunderstood the alignment when reassembling. Thanks.

This is not the mag-stick plus because the mag-stick plus is switchable between 4-way and 8-way by lifting and rotating the stick from the top of the panel and this joystick uses a lever in order to switch between 8 and 4-way.

When in 8 way mode, is it like a suzo happ where it's freely circular, or does it turn into a square gate?

Hey brother you need to do a video on how to install. I recently purchased an arcademodup Arcade1up kit bundle and at the time they did not have any magstik controller in stock so they send me the unit with regular controllers. purchased a magstik controller and it did not come with install instructions. Any help will be appreciated.

I have a Question for you. I am a fan of the game Gyrus and the play field is a spaceship that goes in circles. I do have an arcade Joystick configured in a 8 way mode but even when I rotate the Joystick all the way around the spaceship stops at the vertical or the horizontal position and won't go around in a smooth movement. does that Game originally had a special joystick or I do need a different one? Thanks

Dumb question: How do i know which side it the top/up?

Is it good to play The king of Fighters?

I have an atrox arcade stick xbox1 & pc version. I's this an 8 way stick? If so, how do you convert to 8 way?

How the $%*#@ do you install the $%&#@ thing. Do you twist the $#@# top off? Or do you have to take the whole thing apart or what??

Do you have a link for this joystick? Where can I buy it from?

[Darkangel-swlm]

It’s a pain to switch it when it’s installed. I’m constantly fighting with it and am always afraid I’m going to break it

Is this joystick stiff? I read that some reviewers were saying that they are stiff.

The throw is short. Installing it is a pain as if you don't put all the parts properly, it doesn't work.
