Did you tried other joysticks?

Maybe go to shmups forum:

SithMaster:

Im been checking some reviews and the happ super seems to be responsive
http://www.retroblast.com/reviews/joysticks/happsuper.html

for buttons though the happ convex are the way to go then?

kowal:

he works similarly how X - aracde but it is very harder.  HappSuper has long throw hard spring 450g.
to shootings joystick should have short throw, fast engagement and soft spring.
the angle of inclination should not be greater how 8 degrees. 5 degrees are ideal.

Mag-stick 5 degrees, 3 degrees engagement, super soft 175g
T-stcik has 5 degrees, but they have hard spring 350g
Suzo system 500 (omni stick) 5 degrees, but they have hard spring 350g :banghead:

Seimitsu LS32 is good also he has larger angle (7-8 degress) but balltop it is short. assembles him in metal panel.

do not buy X - aracde, HappSuper, Competion, Ultimate joystick. May attempt how carousel. Total crap...
choose Mag-stick or SeimitsuLS32

Maybe Sanwa buttons, kowal?
If you want to use normal arcade buttons (Happ, Ultimarc) for shmups then here more important are switches than buttons. Use Cherry switches with blue plunger for shmups. Cheery switches with red plunger aren't for shmups.

After test P360 on some shmups, especially Donpachi I can say that this stick is excellent for shmups.
My configuration P360 is: ball-top from SlikStik, and I have modified stick which is shorter than original stick for ball-top from slikstik. Actuator has smaller diameter than original Happ 8-way actuator.

Excellent, really excellent.
