I'm pretty sure you can get them from Lizard Lick

That's excellent to learn!
I'm going to try one of the springs from my JLWs in my U360 to see how it feels. I may also try stretching the stock U360 spring to see what that does for it.
I'll report back my findings.
Thanks a bunch! :cheers:

Can you decrease the tension on a spring by...I dunno, anti-stretching it somehow? :D
I haven't played much with springs and for some reason this concept fascinates me this morning.

I also find that the U360 joysticks can get "sticky" after a couple of months of heavy play. Take em apart and lube them with molykote 44 medium grease. Makes them feel much smoother if you're having issues with subtle movements.

I did the same thing. Silicon lubricant on the ball & socket. Also, increasing the dead zone in MAME is another solution.
The stickiness is main issue I've had with the U360.
