| Happ's Perfect 360 -- Feels VERY stiff? |
| (1/3) > >> |

Well, today I got my Happ's P360 that was backordered for several weeks. I'm still waiting for on my control panel overlay so I can't hookup the joystick yet but just assembling it and holding it in my hand it feels VERY stiff -- completely different from the Super joystick. Is this normal? I'm not well versed at all on joysticks and I remember seeing that some people put a "heavy spring" into their Happ's competition joysticks. Perhaps that is what they use in the P360's? Is this a good thing? Is there any way I make it feel more loose? |

I got my P360s over a year ago along with some Supers. The P360s were not any stiffer than the Supers and I did not think they were too stiff. That does not sound normal to me. |

I have P360's, supers, rotary (based on super), and topfire (also based on super); I can say for sure the p360 is stiffer than them all. I don't mind as I like a little more resistance in a stick. If you're just freehanding it, you won't get a good feel for it's travel and resistance until you have it mounted. I thought the same thing when I first got it, and mounting it makes all the difference. Get some scrap and test it out. On a 3/4 wood panel, be sure to route out about 1/4 on the underside for proper stick length. But, preference will dictate the depth more than anything. |

I just recieved my p360 last night and I have to say that it was VERY stiff. Not just stiff, the range of movement was blocked by the plastic base. Without the e-clip on the range of movement was fine and the joystick felt amazing. I know I put in the pieces properly a bunch of times and it was the same each time. Possibly remove one of the pieces or arrange them differently? |

Chocobo: I didn't notice how loose the joystick felt without the e-ring, but I did notice the lack of range when everything was put together. I still really don't like how stiff everything is. Do you know if the spring could be replaced with a looser one? Also, anybody know the answer to Chocobo's question? I'm wondering as well. |
