Switching the actuator on a 8-way to 4-way WICO stick
« on: November 13, 2012, 12:19:29 pm »
I want a 4-way WICO stick.  I have a NOS WICO 8-way and it looks as though I can switch the actuator to transform it into a 4-way.  I am really wanting movement in 4 directions only.  I am inexperienced with this.  Will switching the actuator make it 4-way with only 4 directional movement (I don't want the blind spots), or would I just have to buy a 4-way original WICO?

To have a proper 4-way wico you have to switch the whole base because the 4-way base has a diamond movement pattern and the 8-way base has a round pattern. Just changing the actuator won't do it.
