| How long is yours? Joystick height! |
| (1/1) |
| eds1275:
I was playing on Lime-Aid, The Lime Arcade today. It has an X-Arcade stick in it. It's not really a good stick but I prefer the feel of the clicking over the super-smoothness of my U-360's. Another thing I noticed is that it sits taller. My U-360's seem very low by comparison, and I'll be adding a thin layer of metal to my control panel next week, bringing joystick height down another hair. The X-Arcade is currently 2 7/8(ish) tall. The u-360 is like 2 3/8. I'm going to add a few small washers between the bottom of the bat-top and the shaft to raise it up, and in the future order the extra long handles. The X-Arcade bat top is fairly bulbous in comparison to the Ultimarc. Is there a standard joystick height? I have under-mounted all my joysticks and realize top mounting would give me the glory I seek... but if I can get away without rebuilding my control panel from scratch I most definitely will! |

Using Happ competition joysticks in 1\2 MDF on my bartop and the joys sit right at 3" from the CP top to the top of the stick. |

Have you checked out the joystick mount section of the FAQ? You can get a very shallow mount-depth and keep the top of the CP smooth using support blocks like EMDB did. Scott |

Either way you mean it, I'm just under an inch. :) The ball top is just under an inch from the cp top on mine |
