Small Problem - Response time? Hardware prob? Software prob?
topdawgg:
The contacts always work. They just seem slow sometimes when playing really fast games. I will try everything mentioned in this post.

If you are only experiencing the above on the "UP" direction, then something is amiss. Either it's an intermittent contact (meaning it actually took a second before contact was made, for whatever reason) or there is something else causing that specific problem. If you are experiencing the same thing on other inputs, then you may have a system issue. Scan for viruses, keyloggers, etc...anything which may be intercepting or modifying keyboard input.
If the above symptom went away, and/or the output you see in another app (notepad, etc.) is consistent with your actions, consider using a different joystick. The one you played on in the arcades is likely different than the one you are using now. Your ability to pull off those moves reliably could be related to the control.

Randy knows more about the encoder than I do but I have to agree with him that if it's specific buttons, it feels a heck of a lot like specific contacts. If all buttons were effected I would lean towards an encoder issue. What about the contacts on the large socket chip? Maybe one of those is specifically for up and it's gotten oxidized and needs to be reseated like Randy said?
topdawgg:
It feels like the buttons react but the control is slow. Is it possible that the contacts on the control are a little further away. Meaning.... when i press foward it doesnt activate the foward until i press it all the way... not reacting ON the way.... If that is the case can I make the contact closer to the movement of the joystick? Ugh...
Not sure if that made any sense.
Btw, all my controls/buttons are from happ

Contact won't be made until you hear that "click" of the switch. If it doesn't click until you are at the full travel of the stick, then that is likely your issue. If you can shorten the stick by using a different e-clip groove and removing a spacer, I suggest that you try this. A shorter stick has a shorter throw, and better response. Also, the current design of the Suzo/HAPP buttons has a small gap between the plunger leg and the switch actuator. This means that they need to go down a bit before they even contact the switch actuator, and even further before the switch actuates. If you are looking for hair trigger response, I'm afraid these won't be the best choice.
