Happs Super - Unresponsive
madk:
I'm having trouble with a Happs Super joy that I just mounted on my new cab. The stick seems a bit unresponsive. When I pull up notepad to test I log only about 2/3 of the keypresses. It is running through an ipac through USB.
All the buttons that I've hooked up are working perfectly and everypress is registered in notepad and mame. I can hear the switches clicking and I know I have the stick setup correctly. I have double checked all the wiring and everything seems fine.
I am pretty much at a loss as to what could be going wrong. On my last cab I installed 4 supers and they all worked perfectly.
Could this possibly be a USB issue? On my last cab I didn't do usb..but unfortunately I don't have a cable to test the standard ps2 port.
Please help.

I would try swapping out the microswitches with the buttons that you know work everytime. If they stop working, then it's probably a wiring issue. If they do work, then you can just get some new microswitches.

I was thinking about doing this but I didn't think there was a high chance that all the switches were bad.
Maybe I'll try 1 for now and report back. I have a bunch of extra switches.
I just ran the ipac test utility with similar results.

Okay...
Instead of outright replacing the switch I just unscrewed it from the stick. I then pressed in the switch as fast as I could and every single press was picked up by the software.
So it seems as if something is wrong with the way I have installed the stick. I'm pretty sure I have it correct with the big part of the 8 way actuator pointing up.
Any suggestions?

the panel through hole is either too small or your panel is too thick thus restricting the movement of your stick
