Do Happ buttons match their sticks?
« on: January 04, 2006, 05:18:48 pm »
Man, I just ordered a cheap joystick (turned out to be a Happ Ultimate) and 3 buttons in green for this Jakks control panel hack I'm working on.  Although the stick is a nice bright green, the generic-looking buttons look more of a "pea  green."

If I order Happ horizontals can I assume the green color will match the Happ stick?

I'll have to post a picture of these things.  And let me tell you...these buttons suck!  They don't seem to use Cherry microswitches...they look like Chinese switches that are super stiff...feel very cheap. 

I assumed they were Happ buttons when I ordered...guess I was wrong...here's the auction for the buttons if curious...http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6239070496&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1

Okay . . . first tip is to never bid on an auction originating from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.

Great.  Thanks!

Ironically, this company is located just 1 hr away.  I figured I'd give a local guy business, plus shipping should be quick....sbut hipping was far from quick  ::)

Thanks for the links.  I'll check 'em out!

That auction originates from Bradenton, Florida- not Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.

However, I stand by my original statement to avoid auctions that originate from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, but I will also add to that:


Hey now, I live in Broken Arrow and am a great seller on eBay

What I meant to say was avoid Ebay auctions all together.

LOL, anyone here from Bum**** Idaho  ;D

Anyway I contacted the co. and they said they must have sent me the wrong buttons.  They'll swap them but I guess I have to pay s/h one or 2 ways.  Only paid $3.75 shipped anyway...
