Sorry Nephasth. My mistake. Thanks Vigo. That is very helpful. |

That really isn't that great of a stick. There isn't anything technically wrong with it, but it is the cheapest American style stick that you can buy. I often replace those with something else when I restore a game. I would chuck it into the parts bin and start over with something else rather than try to upgrade it. Don't bother trying to save money on switches. Someday years from now you will finally have a switch failure and you will be glad to have those cherry switches on hand for replacements. Cherry used to seem to be the standard for everything, which is why you see them in all the older games, but I haven't seen a lot of them in recent years, at least not in new equipment. |

Hi! on 100% This stik is old and probably the first verion Ultimate Joystick You can check this in Wico patents (It show up in their production) It probably was never released as a Wico, immediately as HAPP Control Ultimate is something how combo Wico and CoinControl 8 Way (aka Casino Stick on UK) have similar actuator how Wico Microswitch but microswitch hub (and some other parts) come from Casino stick This is not a good joystick. but I think it has a historical value. it is rather rare specimen :lol |
