Title: Joysticks to loose
Post by: StatusQuo on July 31, 2005, 02:14:43 am: Is anyone else out there like me who loves very stuff joysticks?
I have a pair of Happs Ultimate Joys and I ordered a pair of generic balltops off of ebay. Both are way to loose for my taste. Any recommendations?

Hope this helps,

WTF!?

Anyway the T-Stick Plus is the stick for you, I have a pair with the additional ball top and they are nice and tight, short throw etc

???

I can see the "molasses in my joystick didn't help" thread already... or maybe "super glue made joystick a little TOO stiff"

This is not a good idea, do not put any liquid in your joystick. If you are looking for a very stiff joystick, take everyone's advice and try a T-Stick.
