| Happ perfect 360 , It's making a crunching noise. |

Destructor, I play a ton of different games: schmups like Do Don Pachi, classics like Robotron, and more. P360's are great, and I've played the hell out of them. My kids have as well (my youngest has even dangled from the cab holding on to just the joysticks). The P360's have held up fine, no crunching, smooth motion, easy diagonals. We have a difference of opinion here. No right or wrong, but I stand by my review. You're free to disagree with me. :) |

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. --- End quote --- KevSteele, That video was meant to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the pivot bushing is installed correctly. Here is a picture of the assembly diagram: And here is a picture from the video: How can you say the pivot bushing is upside down? I've spent the last three days taking this joystick apart , putting it back together, making 3d drawings, examining it, making videos, etc The bottom line is the joystick I got was poorly made. The pivot bushing fits loosely around the shaft and the actuator was probably cut a few hairs to short as well. These two problems are causing the loosely fitted pivot bushing to shoot from side to side causing that snapping sound you heard in the vid . I'd like to take it back but happ charged me $17.57 for S & H +tax on a $50 joystick. Now I'd have to pay to ship my old 360 back to them and hopefully wouldn't have to pay for them to ship me a new one. Then I'd be afraid of getting another p360 that came from the last manufacturing batch. |

KevSteele, I agree with introduction and instalation only :D |

Keypel, I'm not sure what to say is the problem - like I said, it could be a broken part. Another option is possibly a mis-matched part (i.e., a bushing from another model of joystick) Whatever the reason, it most certainly is not working as it should. I know it'll cost you to mail it back, but an exchange is probably your best bet at this point, as it sounds like you've tried everything else. |
