Martijn:
all of em, eveything is just to tight, i had to bend a lot

Ginsu Victim:
Weird. Never had any problems whatsoever.

Martijn:
well thats not the main problem. the calibration is the main problem.

Ginsu Victim:
When you screwed on the balltops / battops, did you damage the slot where the screwdiver goes? That can create problems right there. It can cause the magnet to not sit flush.

Interesting thread. I've tried all three restrictors in various projects. I have to say that my personal fave is the circular one. But that's just me. Like someone said before there is no right or wrong. It's all personal preference.

I even made my own circular restrictor this morning with an even shorter throw. Of course the circular one is easy to make. I just used emery to smooth out the inside edge of the smaller hole (19mm) and used an existing restrictor to get the mounting holes drilled out to the exact positions. Works great! I can't get that really nice bevelled inside edge though like on the original. And I wouldn't attempt to make the square or octagonal even if they were my faves.  :dizzy:

It was interesting to note the comment about the "plasticky" feel to the joystick. I was gonna make my restrictor out of metal for this reason, but then I figured that this wouldn't help. Because the cap on the end of the shaft is still made of plastic then a metal restrictor won't help surely? Both of these parts would need to be metal. Of course this isn't an issue for me really at all (or for many people at all I would think) but I kinda see what the guy is getting at.
