Disappointed with my joysticks

Old hat. Comps suck...for about everything...if not everything. Plenty of alternatives.

Unstupid:
If you are looking for a good replacement look at the Sanwa JLW's.  They use the same mounting holes as the Happ Comp's making it an easy switch.  Paradise Arcade shop sells a bat top version so you won't notice the difference.  The JLW's use a round actuator so you don't have to worry about it spinning on you.  Even better are the JLF's but those would require an adapter plate or new holes in your CP.

4 way games are brilliant, but you really have to jam them in the corners to get the diagonals to work.

Here's a picture of how I set it up

The block on the end seems to have a bit of free movement, i.e can rotate, have I set this up wrong?

That block on the end should move, and very freely at that.  I think my first question would be what size hole you have in the panel for the stick to pass through, and then, how thick is the panel?

You should not be having that kind of issue at all with these, so I'm wondering if the hole size is too small and restricting full motion of the stick.

MacGyver:
I agree, judging by the button's remaining threads and the fact that the joystick is mounted flush against the bottom, I'd say it's too low in the panel, and if the shaft is touching the hole anywhere, there's your answer.

Just installed 1 of my new Sanwa JLW's and tried a game of SF3.
Much better :)
