<< < (4/15) > >>
Keypel:
Since it's nearly impossible for me to describe this crunchy , snappy, noise I made a small video (only 1.5mb) Please take a look and tell me what you think.

it is pivot

put together joystick and see that they will move he on sides after center.

these hatches cause this crunchy. this acts how shooting from ruler in boards



the best to make new shaft, pivot$ actuator
RetroJames:

Hey guys, I pinged Kevin as he wrote the 360 review, he should chime in shortly. Sorry your having issues, but I agree with miles2912, you may want to look into replacements. It is very possible the stick has poor quality control and we got a good one while others may be getting defects.

Also wanted to address these two posts,


--- Quote ---they do not write about many things. They estimated on 5 - P360 diagonals it hardly it records.
Diagonals Mag-stick they estimated on 2 Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! this joystick has very easy diagonals restrictor is square.
RetroBlast reviews are good for beginners.

I pointed this out to Kevin as well, again he did that review, but please elaborate here or in email. I apologize but I'm not quite grokking what your pointing out and if there is an issue in one of our reviews we need to remedy that.  james at retroblast dot com

Again on this one, please let us know what you find that you feel is wrong. We all make mistakes, but would like to fix them whenever they are spotted.

Thanks!

I've never heard a sound from my P360's

A Happs P360 is perfectly silent in operation, with no noise at all and very smooth motion in any direction. If you don't have that, something is either installed wrong or something's broken.

Looking at the video, I think I can see what's wrong -- the bushing (the small angled "washer") is installed upside down on the shaft. Flip it over, reinstall, and see if that fixes things. I had a crunchy noise once when I reinstalled the parts wrong. Did you get a schematic with the stick? Check the Happ site, they usually have assembly diagrams available in the parts listing.

RetroJames, I don't know how long you or your friend test this joystick.


--- Quote ---Diagonals are one of the triumphs of this design

Yes, it's true but with moded actuator.


--- Quote ---A firmer spring and a complete lack of friction make an interesting combination that really gave me a feeling of absolute and total control.

Firmer spring is hard and hand is tired after 1-2 hours of playing (it depend from your musculature).


--- Quote ---It's even better with a SlikStik stainless steel handle. I had P360's with stainless steel balltops installed on my SlikStik control panel, and I am in love with these joysticks. The shape and feel of the SlikStik handles just makes the gameplay that much more enjoyable.

It's almost true. Look at this picture:
http://www.retroblast.com/photos/joysticks/p360_slik.jpg
how high is P360 with SlikStik in this panel? It's almost as tree :) Too long handle = too long way to engage.

In review I don't found any word about connection 5V and GND cables with P360 PCB. It's very weak and usually it must be changed for ... gold pins for example.

On joystick Chart we can read:
Diagonals = 5 (easy) :o
For J-Stik is 5 too. In J-Stik diagonals are far easier than in P360. In T-Sik we have 4. T-Stik have square restrictor, P360 - circle and diagonals on P360 are easier than on T-Stik?
It can be true but when you use moded actuator, not default.

You wrote that diagonals in Mag-Stik are hard (2). Jisus, no comment.

Otherwise there is more things for correct but I don't want to write new review. Better if someone will translater kowal's reviews.
