I was just looking at this and I wanted to see if anyone dish out $200.00 to try it. Could you give me/us how you like it and if it works great .

Hm...I've got two of them.  I'll have to give it a shot sometime.

I have this one. I ordered it with the 100k pots and the 10 pin serial cable. I've tried to use it several times but can't get MAME to recognize it. Kinda pi$$ed because it wasn't cheap.

Edit: fixed URL again.

If you ordered it with 100K pots you could hook it up to a DB-15 connector and plug it into your PC's gameport. It should be recognized then.

And if you need the connector just buy a cheapo analog PC joystick, you can just transfer the wiring.

Dammit, every time I try to paste a particular page from the Happ online catalog it ends up showing the title page when the link is clicked. Why is this ?  Since I can't seem to paste the model I have its the Happ analog stick with standard handle. I also screwed up when I described the type of cable it has as it does have the 15 pin gameport cable and not a serial cable.  I bought it to play Foodfight,Sinistar and a few others. It seems to work when I test it with the game controls calibration test in Windows but its not being recognized in MAME for some reason.  Every other cheapo analog stick I've ever tried worked fine in MAME so I don't know why this stick won't.

You linked to the wrong item.  I fixed the URL for you, based on what you said in your last post.  You should right-click on the item, and select 'Copy Shortcut' (for IE users) and use that link.  The link that is in the titlebar doesn't change, because of the frameset.

Thanks for the info Peale. I hit copy/shortcut after right clicking on the pic so I think this link should display the correct page. If not then the stick is part # 50-2741-00 and that is the stick that I can't seem to get MAME to recognize for whatever reason. Ah well, I don't want to over shadow the original post because someone else started this post with a different question so he should be getting more attention regarding his question. Thanks for the help though.
