Anyone with an original Pac Man joy?
markrvp:
I finally got my original Pacman joystick hooked up last night and, MAN, I can't believe how comfortable it felt. It was like I was 12 years old all over again. It is a massive beast, but I just like the feel of this joystick for Pacman (Duh) more than any other.
Just for point of conversation, the joysticks I like best for Pacman in order are:
1. Original Pacman Leafswitch joystick
2. Ms. Pac/Galaga reunion stick
3. Wico 4 way leaf (although the throw seems a little long for Pacman)
What joy do you guys prefer for Pacman?
scatter:
Most are metal shafts inside black plastic sleeves. The sleeve measures 14mm the shaft is 7. This reminds me, I need to buy some grommets some of mine.

I felt the same way about my Galaga stick. I used to have a Happ in there with a 2-way restrictor, but now the original feels SWEEEEET!

I made these stainless ones to replace the naff black ones that came as standard with my Happ rotaries.
The only thing is they are to heavy. The weight of them and the angle of my CP means they take very little pressure to activate the down microswitch and they some time do not spring back to center.
Im going to make some alluminum ones and get them annodised and this should hopefully solve the problem.
Just means im stuck with these till I can find something to do with them.

Franco, swap the spring for a heavier one, if you don't have a heavier one laying around then take the spring out of the other joystick and put them both in the same one and see if that fixes the problem.

Heavy springs are no fun to play on for hours on end.
