I picked up a pair of ball top leafspring joysticks that are NOS repalcements for robotron et al. The joysticks are complete except there's no mention of the centering grommets
Fortunately they are almost always avalable on ebay and other sources
I geuss my first question is how is the response/action without them? If it's not good then my followup is are there alternatives? They appear to be just rubber boots that cause some tension and cause the stick to snap back to center. Is there something maybe in a auto parts store that would have the same effect, anything that's been done before? Maybe some way to replicate the actionwith springs?
I don't have em in my hands yet so I'm just flying blind so to speak and geussing
