Joysticks to loose
« on: July 31, 2005, 02:14:43 am »
Is anyone else out there like me who loves very stuff joysticks?
I have a pair of Happs Ultimate Joys and I ordered a pair of generic balltops off of ebay. Both are way to loose for my taste. Any recommendations?

If you like stiff joys.... there is the Ultimarc T-Stick Plus'. They are bat top joys, but you can get replacement balltop shafts..

Hope this helps,

well, you could try putting some kind of thick liquid into the loose joystick to make it tighter

WTF!?

Anyway the T-Stick Plus is the stick for you, I have a pair with the additional ball top and they are nice and tight, short throw etc

???

I can see the "molasses in my joystick didn't help" thread already... or maybe "super glue made joystick a little TOO stiff"

This is not a good idea, do not put any liquid in your joystick.   If you are looking for a very stiff joystick, take everyone's advice and try a T-Stick.
first off your and idiot

Man I love the internet, haha.
