Ultrastik 360: The quest for new springs

Pages: (1/2) > >>

Aurich:

So I love the Ultrastiks, but the stock spring is just too loose and mushy, and the 'medium' replacement spring is WAY too stiff. I know other people feel the same way, so if anyone finds a good replacement somewhere let us know, and I'll post back if I have any luck.

Donkey_Kong:

Are you sure you are using the medium spring? I mean you could have mistakingly used the hardest spring and in that case would definitely experience ultra stiffness. hmm

I think the general consensus is that the medium spring is where it is at on the U 360...but everyone is different.

Let us know...


Aurich:

Yes I'm sure, the hard spring is so stiff it's useless, though the medium one is barely less stiff. Unless Andy screwed up I can't imagine using either, they're way stiffer than any joystick I've ever used. Did you think the difference between the two was that great? (Med and hard I mean)

ahofle:

I read a post here a while back about someone swapping out the stiff spring in an E-Stick with a softer one.  I think that person just took out the spring and went to the hardware store and found a similar one.  Maybe try pulling it out and going down to your local hardware store (a real one like Ace, not Home Depot) to see what they have.

Hmm, the only Ace around here is no bigger than my house.
