I know that micros can have "bounce"...you hit the switch once, but it kind of echoes and sends a second signal....I am not sure if this will affect arcade pcb's....it messed with the older ipacs though...
Oh, the memories of living on pizza subs and Dr Pepper...

I can't relate to the original KI problems that you are alluding too...

but here are my thoughts:

* the brand controller you are using are happs ultimates, i've read that a stiffer spring is sometimes desired for "feel" with these sticks

*  Maybe you need to futz with the actuating levers to get easier/more sensitive diagonal action (towards the stick)

* Maybe there's a dips switch setting on the board for "easy combos" that the boards you played on were used to

* Maybe it was a firmware issue and only later KI's played nicer

*shrug*  Maybe you need more practice =P

good luck,
