Happ Super needed as 4 way what is actuator.
Organic Jerk:
I imagine if you were looking for a true 4-way dedicated joystick and have your templates and measurements prepared for a super then this would be your best bet...

Although if you were looking for a joystick that changes from 8-way to "true" 4-way then from what I've seen this would be your best bet:

Can some 1 tell me the position of the actuator for the 8 way, mine is installed with The smaller cone up and i can get a good response from the diagonals but i think that this should be the 4 way position. Am i right?

With the wider cone pushing the switches the stick is 8-way, narrow cone pushing the switches the stick is 4-way. So in your case, the stick is in 8-way mode.

I was gonna correct arzoo, until I flipped a Super over to double check before I posted. Then I realized, this depends on how you define "up". If you're holding the stick so that the handle points towards the sky, then large cone up (towards the sky) = 8-way. If you've got the stick handle pointing at the ground so you can look at the bottom of the stick, then large cone up (towards the sky) = 4-way.
What matters is, the large cone should contact the switch levers for 8-way mode, and the small cone should contact the switch levers for 4-way mode.

U're right mine was mounted for 4 way operation. The point is that i was able to perform diagonals (even with some difficulties) i've flipped the actuator and now the diagonals are very easy to perform. Think that if some1 wants a 4 way joystick must usa a mechanical restrictor type.
