i bought 2 happs super joysticks last week, and have two questions
1) that little grip, y'know, the one that clips to the very bottom of the shaft, how do i get it off, it seems stuck.
2) is it possible for me to buy just that part, preferably not from happs
please help me
Thanx

thats called the E-clip. Just use a long nose plier and pull it off.

What Thenasty said.
Also, when you pull the e-clip off, be careful: you need quite a bit of force, and it can go flying off at a pretty high speed if you aren't holding it.
You can get e-clips at home depot or Ace, but be sure to bring the original. They come in all different sizes, so you need the original to find the match.

ah, a plier. well, thanx for the help. e-grip. i'll keep that in mind
-
If you need a replacement e-clip, the ones that fit the Happ Super and Competition sticks is an 8mm. The shaft is actually 10mm, but IL overcuts the groove and uses an e-clip designed for an 8mm shaft.
FYI - Happ incorrectly identifies the e-clip as a 7mm clip, but that is because the groove on the shaft is 7mm diameter, which requires an 8mm clip. :)

I just came accross this review of the Happ Super and Wico Leafswitch:

I've been using Happ Ultimates (not too happy with them) and X-Gaming sticks. I'd like a good ball-top stick thats available in black, but haven't come accross much yet.
