Mag-Stick Plus discussion
mvolke1:
I just got two Mag-Stick pluses from Ultimarc. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to get them to switch from 4 to 8-way. They're supposed to be able to change from the top of the console, but I have been sitting in my apartment twisted and pulling and turning for two days to no avail. (that didn't sound too good)
Anyone got advice?

From Ultimarc Website...
To switch: Pull out the stick against the spring pressure, continue pulling while rotating, until the mechanism engages, then turn anticlockwise for 8-way, or clockwise for 4-way. The stick clicks into position when turned 45 degrees. The mechanism actually rotates an internal restrictor plate and also rotates the microswitch actuator for a perfect 4-8 way transition.

Pull up against the spring firmly. Rotate it until you feel it pull up another 1/4 inch. Then rotate it either to the right or the left. If you are looking at it from the bottom you will see the white lever move when you do this correctly. If you need some pics of what I am talking about...let me know. I can take some and post them.
mvolke1:
Thank you. I'll try that. I read what the Web site said, but it wasn't working. I haven't felt it pull up at all. I think I might have been turning it to the left to engage, not the right.
Alcathiax:
I really think if you are looking at the bottom of the joystick you can see the little tabs on the side of the rod. If you look carefully enough you can see where they "engage" to move the lever.
