| Happ Rotary Stick Issue |

I have tried searching for a solution for this but have not managed to find one so I thought I would post here. I recently ordered the Happ Rotary joystick and the rotary board from Ultimarc. I managed to get everything installed easily enough, however there is a major issue with the controller. It seems that either the microswitches are too sensitive or the joystick is not lined up right. The problem is when I push left on the stick, it nearly always acts as down + left. I can make it go left but it requires concentration and it is really annoying for those precise moments in games. So I was wondering if the rotary joysticks tend to be less accurate for regular use and if not is there any way I can adjust it so it actually just goes left when I push it that way and not diagonal left + down. Anyway, any advice would be greatly appreciated!! :) |

Happs rotary sticks are basically its super sticks with the rotary added on the bottom. The super uses switches with levers. I wonder if either the left or the down switch's lever is bent. |

I have had this exact problem and I've complained about it in a few spots and have been unable to find a good solution. The basic issue is the actuator on the stick that presses the switches is too big. In its neutral position, it is resting on the switches so just barely touching it is enough to engage the switches. VERY annoying when trying to run straight left or right without ducking. This oversensitivity has been a problem on some of Happ's other sticks lately, and the solution has been to replace the actuator. However, on these rotary sticks, the actuator is not removable from the rotary interface. I tried filing the actuators down but I wasn't successful. One thing I did try that kinda worked was I moved the switches away from the actuator. I did this by unscrewing them and then used double stick tape to reattach them. This actually fixed the problem, but the tape wouldn't hold for more than a few days. If there was a better way to move the switches back, then this would be a good solution. Possibly if we could find a different base to use with the stick and rotary interface. If you find a solution to this, please let me know. |

One more thing. One thing that helps just a bit is to loosen the switches from the base just a bit. One of my rotary sticks had this problem so bad that it would get stuck in one direction. You'd press left, the switch would engage, you'd move the stick back to it's neutral position, and the switch wouldn't disengage. Loosening the switch fixed it from getting stuck, but it's still way too sensitive. |

Hmm that's annoying, it doesn't look like anything is bent out of shape. Thanks anyway both of you for your advice :) I wonder if there is a way to tighten the micro switches themselves so they don't click as easily. I am starting to realize all this hassle to play Midnight Resistance might have been in vain. |
