Happ Competetion mounting
« on: October 12, 2010, 05:55:56 pm »
I was mounting a couple competetion joysticks to a friends metal dynamo panel, and as I was putting the clips on the bottom, I noticed that the square part that hits the switches that attaches to the ends of the sticks kind of move around a bit. Is that normal? The ones on my cab dont move that much, but they are the ultimate ones. Any thoughts? Thanks!

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

You should be concerned if they DON'T move. There needs to be some looseness to them, otherwise you risk hitting inadvertent diagonals.

Thats what I figured, but they seem to move more than I thought. I havent tried em out playing a game yet, so I cant tell. Thanks for the reply GV!

They should move when barely any force is applied.  We actually machine the tight ones Happ has been shipping so they work properly, before being shipped to our customers.  If you buy them somewhere other than from us, they are probably still going to be tight when you get them.
