Comp happ stick feels sloppy. Easy fix?
<< < (2/9) > >>
TopJimmyCooks:
pull out the spring and give it a little stretch too.  that will reduce the play, the tape will reduce the throw.  the tape won't last long, but if it works you can do something like get a bigger actuator. 
jrivelli:
I just put in 2 new sticks for the first time ever and it took me about an hour and I had to unsolder each connection on the old sticks and put on clips. Not that bad, definitely worth it!
mgb:
if you do find you wanna change the stick out at some point, changing to a leaf switch stick or something like the happ super will give you a little more tweaking ability for the feel and response you want, otherwise like topjimmy says; go with the tape and spring stretch plan.
equlizer:
they are square actuators in there.  Should i put in a round one instead?  i have 2 other happ sticks with round ones in there that have levers on the switches.
TopJimmyCooks:
typically square actuators press the microswitch tab directly with no metal arm.  round actuators are paired with the long microswitch arms.  If you substitute round for square you'll likely have problems hitting the diagonals.  the happ comp is not a well liked stick.  if you've got some supers (round actuators) then I would (and do) use those.  $8.39 from divemaster (arcadeemulator.net, happ dealer)
