I agree and disagree with VanillaGorilla. On robotron using my happ supers I'll often miss a diagonal. Diagonals are easier to hit with the rectangular restrictor on the Zippy. But now I seem to miss on up down left right more often. I was thinking of filing away a portion of the restrictor so I can "feel" the up down left right's better. Isn't it like $8.95?? cheap...

I just got my Zippyy's and Happ Supers from GGG. My first impression is that the Zippyy's are a higher quality than the Happ's. Much heavier weight and they just feel like they are put together better. I plan on using the Zippyy for a dedicated 4-way but I am sort of wishing I got three of them instead of the Supers. Also, I got them with the smoothjoy switches installed and they are nearly silent.

Have you tried it yet with the 4-way restrictor? I didn't like it - makes you move in a " + " pattern and you can't slide diagonally from one position to the next...

Maybe I can shave a little plastic off that Cloverleaf. That should help it move from north/south to east/west.

I thought of that too - let me know if you try it
