Have you considered this modification part you can buy from Randy at groovygamegear.com? http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=71&products_id=310 Another GroovyGameGear Innovation! Use this little "gem" to turn your IL / HAPP SUPER Joystick into a true, physically-restricted 4-way. * Simple installation. Included hardware allows mounting to existing holes in joystick body. * Precision LASER fabrication. * Provides longer throw 4-way operation than mechanically switchable joysticks can provide. * Engineered to give tight break-to-make switch operation. * Available as a pre-installed option on HAPP SUPER joysticks sold through GroovyGameGear or as a DIY item. I haven't hooked up my Happ Super joystick yet but I can already feel I will have this problem so I am going to be placing an order soon for this restrictor plate and a few other goodies for my build. |

Of course, the best fix is to buy Ultimarc's Ultrastik 360s (U360). Worth the price tag. --- End quote --- Thanks for the link. Should have definitely checked that out before I bought my controls. I should have just bitten the bullet and gotten the U360s. That will probably be the route I take once I finish out my cab. Until then, I am looking for a "quick fix" solution. --- Quote from: mwong168 on July 29, 2009, 02:11:27 pm ---Have you considered this modification part you can buy from Randy at groovygamegear.com? --- End quote --- I still want 8-way control, I just don't want to be hitting down-right when I try to press right, and so forth. Maybe an octagonal restrictor may be the way to go though. |

There are no octagonal restrictors for the Super. |

I wish Randy would make a slightly rounded octagonal restrictor for the super. I love everything else about that joystick except for the slightly non-precise diagonal activation. One thing you could possibly try... turn the little activator upside down (so it's in 4 way mode) and then wrap some good strong tape around it until you get to the activation point you want. |
