Ultimarc 360 Shaft Rotation

Does anybody know if it's possible to lock the shaft of this joystick in place?  It keeps rotating in my hand and rocking the ball-top loose.

Thanks!

You just need to tighten the balltop. To do it you have to remove the pcb board, 4 screws, then remove the big magnet, tighten the balltop really good. Re-assemble.

or you can use BLUE LOCTITE on it.  Works great for me

Good idea.  That's probably what I'll do when I get it  into the cabinet.

Thanks guys.

Umm, what?

Unless I'm misunderstanding you want to prevent the shaft from being able to rotate. I really doubt thats possible on the U360 or on just about any Arcade joystick. The way they are assembled, they will always rotate. As for preventing the handle from coming loose, the shaft of the u360 has two flat grooves so you can use a wrench to tighten the ball top.
