Title: Any difference between competition joystick and ultimate w/ hard spring?
Post by: J_Talbain on August 24, 2002, 12:06:58 am

Any real differences?  Also, does the competition joystick work well with the default spring?  Thanks in advance.

There are many differences between these joysticks, regardless of the spring.  I reviewed the Happ joysticks here (http://www.oscarcontrols.com/joycompare/joyreview1.shtml) from a design/functionality perspective.

For my own cab, I would only use the Comp's, or possibly the Super's for a generic cab.  The Ultimates feel a bit weak, IMO.

competitions with softs are ok but will wear too much and feel like a new ultimate get a hard spring and a competition and it will feel hard at first but it moves perfect after a while

Sounds like the competition is really good.  So what about 4-way play, from Oscar's review is sounds like I am out of luck.  Is there any solutions, besides adding another joystick?
