How can I tell genuine Wico joysticks?
PaulG:
Now that it's mentioned, the part probably is from the Happ Competitions.
Bought these because I've been looking for months on Ebay for NOS 8-way Leafs (Nothing) and a lot of members think the "Micro-Leafs" are just as good (The thinking being it's the rubber grommets that make the Wicos more than the Leaf switches). Oh well, I've been on a Puzzle Bobble kick lately and I was actually playing much better than with my T-Stick Pluses.

Good condition USED Wico leafs actually feel better to me than NOS ones.
Once the grommet gets loosened up a bit, but before it starts cracking/ripping, they are the best feeling sticks ever made--at least to me.
I've got a dedicated Radical Radial, that I was expecting to replace the stick on when I bought it, due to its age.
I got it adjusted, and played with it, and it actually feels better than any of the NOS sticks I have.
Likewise, the USED leaf buttons usually feel better to me than NOS ones, once they are adjusted properly.

Are these the sticks you bought for $20 each on this forums buy/sell page? I was going to get the red ones, but I guess I'll pass now....
As for the leaf ones, Retroblast gave them a thumbs down, you should read it before you order.

Can you explain how you adjust your leaf buttons and leaf switches for Wico 8-way joysticks?
