The impossibility of flush top-mounting a Happ Competition Joystick
Cornchip:
I figured top mounting was a good idea since I was already top mounting the track ball plate. I wasn't thinking future friendly as this is permanent. The CP top does come off, but only after all the buttons are removed. Given the option again, I would use capture nuts and bottom mount. Guess I'm a hacker. ;)

The dust washers are still there. But they are under the overlay of the panel, which is where they are really meant to be.
Of course, this can only really work on metal panels or panels with rigid overlays, so wood panel builders have little choice but to put them on top.

TOK:
Randy is correct... There is even a recessed area in the top of the Happ sticks so the dust washer wont bind under a metal or plexi overlay. :)

So THAT'S why the top is shaped that way!
Rats, Wish I'd known that before. I don't think that laminate is coming at now though...
Oh, well, alcoholic or hacker eh? Hmm, I'll go with hacker! :cheers:
