Comp happ stick feels sloppy. Easy fix?
Cynicaster:
I have two Competitions and a single 4-way Ultimate on my panel. Admittedly, I haven't tried that many different brands, but I love the Comps. I'd buy them again in a heartbeat.
As for the Ultimate, I can understand why lots of people don't like it, because it is a bit on the sloppy side. I think if I could start over, I'd go with something else for the 4-way, but it doesn't bother me enough to do anything about it. I think it's decent for most 4-way games that I like to play. The only game that I've found to be problematic with the Ultimate is Frogger (admittedly, a bit of a bummer because I really like Frogger). The reason it doesn't work with Frogger is because the game requires rapid/repeated taps of the stick to move around, rather than just holding it in one direction or another (like Burgertime, for instance). The long throw of the Ultimate makes it difficult to do this with any kind of precision, so you're pretty much toast after a few levels--especially if you try to hop side to side between cars after they start to speed up.

If you really want to enjoy those 4 way games, swap out that ultimate with a Sanwa Jlw, set for 4-way mode. You won't regret it. its the same bolt pattern too

Are you sure about this? if so ill change em out tomorrow! i got 2 of those as well!! But there is 1/8 plexi and 3/4 mdf its gotta go through. All that will be sticking out is the ball :(
if the sanwas dont fit ill put my comps in instead when my micro leafs come in. Can i keep the yellow stick part from the ultimate and put it in the comp?

Comps are made that way. Loosey-goosey. Don't fancy them, myself.

Personally, I love the JLWs. They work great in 4-way mode and 8-way mode. Some don't like the square restrictor for 8-way though. The Ultimates stick may fit the comp, I'm not sure. Pull the stick out by removing the eclip and compare them.
