What's the best way to adjust a joystick for better diagonal accuracy?  The reason I am asking this is my joystick doesn't seem to be accurate when playing fighting games.

Thanks,

Jimmy

What kind of JS are you using? How is it mounted? Is it mounted straight? If it is mounted at a with slight rotation 1. make sure you play at a little angle, or 2 remount the JS.

I don't see a brand name on it, but it looks like this:





It mounts straight to the control panel using built in bolts.. The control panel is slightly angled down.  I play standing up and and I'm 99 percent sure that's not the issue.  If I just angle it the upper right corner I sometimes have to wiggle it to get the two switches to engage.  The joysticks are old from roughly 1995.  I guess what I am asking is if i should play around with bending the contact bars that press the switch.

Looks like a Happs Super.
You can try taking the little e-clip on the bottom of the joystick shaft off, and then flipping the little 'actuator' the opposite direction and see if you get better results.  I'd do that before trying bending the microswitch contact strips.
