Anyone use a Happ Super as there 4-way?
rdowdy95:
Hey guys any of you use a Happ Super in 4 way mode as there 4 way joystick. How do you like it. Does it play 4 way games good?

I used to use one and then I switched to a Wico 4way. No comparison.
If I had to go with a 4 way now - I would use the reunion stick from Happ. Thats the same stick you see on the Galaga/Ms. Pacman machines and they feel real good.
The super had too long of a throw and didn't have a physical restrictor.

The supers don't have a TRUE 4-way mode.
The actuator is smaller on the 4-way mode, preventing the stick from hitting the diagonals.
The smaller actuator also means that the stick has to travel farther before making contact.
The result is a sloppy feeling stick that isn't diamond restricted.

I have seen the reunion stick and it does look real nice. I would be putting it in a control panel that is 3/4" Birch plywood. No plexi or artwork on top. It has a shorter stick because it is made for metal CP. Should I get a longer balltop stick for it. I only plan on mounting/routing them in 1/4" of the ply.

If you do want a longer handle for a Reunion, you can get one from Tornado Terry.

You can also use the Versa-ball sticks (the ones sized for a Super) from www.groovygamegear.com.
And the SlikStik stainless / aluminum sticks (for Supers) ought to fit, too.
