I'm using 2 Happ joysticks on my, think their competition sticks, and I can't say I'm very happy with them. 4 way games are brilliant, but you really have to jam them in the corners to get the diagonals to work. Here's a picture of how I set it up The block on the end seems to have a bit of free movement, i.e can rotate, have I set this up wrong? |

From that angle, it looks OK to me. I notice your joystick bolts are awefully close to the unused tabs on your switches. If those touch, it could ground out that portion of the switch and affect your gameplay as that connector on the switch is closed by default. |

Thanks for the reply. The bolts aren't near the switches, think it's a play on the camera angle. If the joystick is setup correctly, then I'm pretty disappointed in it, it makes any 8-way game harder then it should be. Can any1 recommend a replacement, I didn't build this cabinet with the purpose of playing fighting games on them, but I'll be damned if I'm not enjoying them at the moment ;D |

I've got Happ comps on my 2-player cabinet and they behave exactly opposite to what you're saying--they work great for 8-way games but kind of stink for 4-way games. Which is just fine with me, because I have a dedicated 4-way stick on my panel as well. I'm not saying these sticks are nearly the end-all-be-all of arcade controls, but they're a utilitarian and very affordable general-purpose product. If you're finding you have to "jam it into the diagonals" in an unnatural way to get it to do what you want, something is wrong. |
