Question about joysticks

[mrbasdf]

I have an arcade stick, with a competition joystick. I was recently at the arcade, playing Marvel vs. Capcom 2, and noticed that the joystick was not very stiff, as opposed to the competition joystick. I think it was a perfect 360, since i couldn't hear any clicking of microswitches. Does anyone know what kind it is?

I know not what a MVC2 arcade cabinet uses as a stick (plus if it's a conversion there would be no way to tell) I'm not sure that the absence of audible clicking makes it a perfect360 (maybe it's a well sealed control panel or a noisey arcade or )

what I can offer up is if your joystick is too stiff or to "easy" that perhaps you could change the spring in it to adjust the tension to more your likeing (if you can find suitable springs in a local hardware store I belive therealbobroberts has 'em failing that happs?)

*shrug* ymmv good luck
