HAPP Comp joys??

So, RandyT would take the time to do the modifications to makes these sticks work better than Happ themselves are shipping them, but ignore them being junk? What sense does that make?

If they were junk, he wouldn't sell them. There are plenty of other stores online selling CRAP. Happ isn't what it used to be, but at least they're listening and working to improve. If they sucked, you wouldn't see so many of us still using their parts.

Are you suggesting that you are richer than the folks who sell these ?

But will not if you have brain ... do the math ... sampling theory 101.

One of first joysticks I ever bought was NIB and had two defective switches.

One could say that the brand of joystick sucked.

One could say that the brand of switch sucked.

Or one could do the math since, it turns out, both are considered quality products (even by your standards).

all vendors in Euro and meny in USA (LizardLick or Ponyboy) came back to iL. they do not buy Competion in HAPP, only from iL - do not want to lose marks
this is fact

if you have brain read subject and first post wiseacre
this is subject why competion works bad
bad
no "good new china comp from HAPP"

LizardLick sells IL and Happ in Competition style.

They did this largely because of the "chicken little" mentality perpetuated by folks like yourself.

There's more "bad perception" in this case than "bad parts".  HAPP is to blame for the second item, guess who's to blame for the first?  At least they are working on fixing their end.

And to think that I left the "kowal just turns to ridicule when he runs out of facts and can't make the math work" out of my original post.

My fault for thinking that you could actually understand the point about your lack of statistical ability.

I'm going to go play Robotron with my sloppy, grimy, gritty, terribly-responsive Wico's.

Joystick acts bad. actuator not turned (can activate direction when shaft turn),  bad press plunger (2x clic), execution is worse (wsher, e-clip, stell shaft)
but RT said,  it is only collusion "chicken little"
Jesus

hey CheffoJeffo
you want  discussion? lol You read this topic and first post? still not!

I keep trying, but never seem to reach that magical 100%.

I got my Happ Comps from GroovyGameGear yesterday and the modification to the actuator worked brilliantly. I've twisted the stick every way I can and have had no accidental switch engages or unintentional diagonals. It floats exactly as it should.

Thanks RandyT!

If the people in this community want to continue to have good parts at good prices, the answer is not to boycott, rather to help educate and hold them accountable so everyone wins.  If you try to help and get ignored, that's a different case, but I don't believe that  this is what is happening here.

RandyT

Fair enough Randy, I hope they can get back into the swing of things before it is too late. The main reason I'm not buying Happ stuff anymore is I've found I prefer the feel of higher end Japanese sticks, the quality drop was just icing on the cake.

[RandyT]

Something more for Kowal.  I just ran across another one of those "double click" situations on one of the HAPP sticks.   But before I go on, I want to make sure that it's understood the the switch actuates perfectly normally, and it's only an audio anomaly, not one that affects operation.  IOW, the contacts themselves make one click and stay there.  It's not an oscillation.

 It was one switch that was doing it.  So I turned the actuator and it did indeed follow the actuator.  I noticed a very slight rough edge on the actuator, so I cleaned it up a bit and as if by magic, the sound went back to a single click.

But here's the funny part;  I pulled one of the IL sticks off the shelf (still have a small stock of them set aside).  I put it together to double-check the angle of incidence against the switch actuators (to humor Kowal) and not only did it make the exact same "double click" noise, it did it on *3* of the switches!  Actually a worse scenario with the IL stick than the HAPP one, and the angle of incidence is exactly the same.

I think it's safe to say that that "this myth is busted".

If there was a way for me to edit the wiki without registering a new account I'd work on it. I love the utility. Best thing since Webdings. Until the underscore snafu is worked out, I will remain a lazy asshat.

Do you suppose he'd edit the wrong Wiki too? 

[Mauzy]

What the hell? I genuinely have no idea how that happened. Theres a a topic SOMEWHERE about Soft 15Khz getting a sub forum and it led to Wiki editing. I have no idea how I wound up posting here, but sorry about the hijack guys. 

BTW, here it is. There is such a thing. Im not that nuts

Considering what just happened, yes.

So... sandpaper the actuator huh?

I guess that's what I'll have to do to get these stupid ---daisies--- to float. What a pain in the ass for a product that should work out of the box. 

[RandyT]

So... sandpaper the actuator huh?

Sandpaper won't work as well as a drill press and the proper size drill bit.  If you know someone with these tools, it would only take them a couple of minutes to do it for you.

BTW, starting yesterday, all HAPP Comps shipping from GroovyGameGear will now be including the white IL actuator.  This will continue until the issue with the HAPP manufactured actuator has been resolved at the production house.

I bought a pair of happ comps from GGG a couple weeks ago.  Do I have gimped product?

[Ginsu Victim]

No, RandyT's been fixing of them.
