Title: Need Help Identifying this Joystick (bat top)
Post by: Rook on December 21, 2012, 02:14:58 pm

Hello all, I'm designing my first set of controls and I thought I'd go to my local arcade to try to figure out which joystick felt the best to me. I found one I really liked, but I'm having some trouble identifying it, and thought I'd love some help, any ideas? it stuck out between 2" and 3".

I should also mention that it must have had a circular restrictor plate on it, it was a smooth round motion, and very crisp.

Looks like a Happ Super (http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=285).

Happ Super indeed, which is my personal favorite in the category of cheaper modern western style joysticks. There are a lot of knock offs of those sticks out there too, try buying them from Bob Roberts so you know you get the real thing.
