Comp happ stick feels sloppy. Easy fix?

<< < (3/9) > >>

DillonFoulds:
My 4p upright is comps, and for beat'em ups they're great! Exactly the joystick feeling i remember from the beat'em up days. They do still feel pretty solid even after about 2000 credits in.

My understanding is it's the Happ ultimates that get the bad rap usually, not the competitions?

mgb:
Dillon, I agree the Comps really feel great, though the Happs in general seem to get a bad rap now

boardjunkie:
I generally can't stand any microswitch sticks (and buttons as well), but the Super always felt more solid to me. They definitely lasted longer where the comps would tear themselves up under heavy beat-em-up use. Fighting game kids never liked them all that well for whatever reason...

A good trick is to use silicone grease on the centering parts and switch actuator. That makes 'em last longer instead of chewing themselves up and leaving a pile of plastic dust below it......

equlizer:
Maybe ill just switch them out for my comps.  comps do feel better in my opinion but it was built with ultimates :(

Going from ultimate to comp, are they the same bolt pattern for mounting?

Also the bolts are mounted and recessed under plexiglass so your hand doesnt run over them.  So to take the stick out just hold the bolt from underneath with a pair of vice grips then take the nut off?

mgb:
I thought you already had comps in there.
If the current sticks are Ultimate, that explains the sloppiness.
the ultimates, comps and supers are all the same bolt pattern, as are many other sticks such as the Sanwa JLWs.

If you're going to change to other Happ sticks, you may wanna look at changing to Supers. they have more adjustability and as Boardjunkie says, they are said to be more durable (I have never used them, so I can't say from experience)
