Not a fan of Sanwa joysticks....but...
Gatsu:
I'm not a big fan of the japanese style joysticks. I grew up on Happ style stuff. Its what was on every Street Fighter and MK machine I ever played. Very smooth, I can rotate the stick without hitting any sort of resistance.
But everyone that builds custom sticks for competitions and whatnot seem to be using Sanwa parts. I never liked the "grooved" feel the joystick has when I move around on the Sanwa stuff.
Is there a way to make the joystick feel more smooth flowing like the Happ stuff?
Is it just an adjustment? Or an add-on/replacement piece I can get?
I ask because I've heard that the Sanwa stuff is more responsive...and a little tighter than Happ stuff. That may not make much difference to the casual crowd. But I'm a HUGE fighter enthusiast. And any way to help improve my game is something I try to do.
thanky.

The JLF sticks come with a square restrictor that makes finding diagonals easy, but on 360s you can get stuck in the corners. They make an octagonal restrictor that makes 360s much smoother and you get notches in all eight directions. I use these on my naomi uni cab and love them.

You can get them here towards the bottom of the page.

They have bat top handles too.
The JLW sticks have circular restrictors with no notches.
Bottom line, it all comes down to personal preference, there are plenty of tournament players that use happ stuff.
Gatsu:
Then poo on using Sanwa joysticks for me then! lol. I'll stick with happ for myself. ;D
But I'll use Sanwa buttons to save room in the cases.
Is there a Happ joystick attachment or full joystick that will allow me to use a balltop style instead of the teardrop? Just curious. All the Happ 8-way stuff I've seen has been teardrop.
Bleagh:
There are all types of balltop joysticks out there. I don't have any experience with any besides sanwas, seimetsus, or galaga/pacman sticks though.
