Ultimarc UltraStik 360 Joystick
cadmium:
Just got my 2nd stick back from the seller who fixed it. Guess it was a bent usb connector, no big deal to fix, but he still took care of it, so kudos so epraiser123.
The second stick has a little less center play, but a little bit of that center rotation when you twirl the stick. I think part of the problem may be that one of the washers was missing on the pcb, so that may account for some if it. Whenever I get around to running to home depot I'll look for a similar plastic washer. I'm not too worried because I don't use the 2 player stick very often (for some reason the wife isn't as jazzed about the arcade as me).

That is an interesting observation. I got my circular restrictors last night and when I went to install them I found that one of my PCBs had only one washer and the other had three washers. In the process of getting the plates installed, all of the washers fell off anyhow. I'm not honestly sure what the correct number is, but it seems to me the the QC is a tad lacking somewhere here. When I received my two U360s, I also had to superglue the magnet back into one of the holders as it came in two pieces which was a bit disconcerting. I did notice that when I finally got the sticks back together, I could get rid of most of the center play by making sure the PCB was tightened all the way to the base. If I left just one of the screws a little loose, the joystick motion would show it.

Ummon:
I had a sensor fall of, too. There are two kinds of play here: what is registered by the sensor, and that in the joystick mechanism itself.

Just thought I'd updated to post a picture of my 2 u360's installed
Ummon:
Those do look a little low for comfort, unless you hold it near the top. Probably fine if standing up.
