| Happ Competition joysticks - way too sensitive |

What about the push buttons? Does anyone know where I can find the shorter concave push buttons that where on the dedicated MK cabinets, seems like the only ones I can find are the extra long happ comp concave push buttons, and they dont look right on the control panel, the springs in them pushes the button up to high, so on the control panel there sticking way up instead of low profile looking on the dedicated MKs. |

I think I may like mine to be a big stiffer too for faster responce when "tapping" for dashing in games and stuff, but for all my other games for normal use its probably best the way it is right now. I wonder how it works mechanically, I cant see how a sprint pushing up & down keeps a stick from moving left/right esp since its housed on shaft of the stick itself. Maybe if I look at the diagram I will see it. I hear the cheapest method of increasing spring tension is to stretch out the spring some :P |

Got the stiffer springs from the Real Bob Roberts (about $1 USD each) and now they are 95% as close to the original sticks as can be. Also to be fair, I really got use to these playing Street Fighter 2 in the arcade, so I'm use to them, but the stock MK ones are the best. I think they were Wico ones or something. There is a thread here (that I'm a part of I think) that has pics of them posted and someone ID'd them. Problem is we can't get them anymore, so Comps it was... --- End quote --- Okay, cool :). Are they the same as the heavy springs you can order from here: http://www.lizardlickamusements.com/pages/joysticks.shtml ? Shame they don't sell the original MK sticks anymore. I'm gonna try and grind the actuator tomorrow/day after tomorrow and put it upside down, gonna order a new one anyway so it won't hurt. |

Also, I have no idea if the one on that site for $1.95 is the same, but BR calls his a "heavy" spring as well, so maybe? EDIT: I meant, heavy, not stiffer, heh. |
