kagaden:
So Randy, about that actuator purchase... ;)
I know the ones I have now are non-floating, and I was wondering why it felt flawed :(
kowal:
iL eurojoystick on KWJ work fine engage is longer on joystick
it is not the switch activation problem only switch construction, D series have are more solid plunger, base and mechanism
plunger on KWJ is delicate, less stable (in vertical on joystick). It generates double click (clique)

but stick still have too fas engage only other switch is more solid and they sustain better push from top. it is still joystick crap problem not switches
You did not check it - it is true. You say stupidity. :P
TOK:
Its admirable that Randy T keeps an open mind to Chinese manufacturing, and can totally see how one bad mold can affect a companies products... The thing is is that these "crap" comments aren't coming from nowhere. Toys are almost all coming from China now and the quality on them is abysmal. Anyone with kids can tell you how much of it breaks on day 1, and how plastic molds for latches and stuff on toys fall apart in your hands. That isn't even addressing lead based paint found on Chinese toys and candy tainted with poisons. Chinese vehicles, their next huge export, have scored the worst crash test scores since crash test data has been recorded.
Yes, this joystick issue is a minor thing, but I disagree that making anything in China is a good idea at this point.

I did check it. What you say happens, doesn't. If it did, it would be doing it on many, many sticks, and on every switch.

This is starting to become a discussion for P&R, but this is ridiculous, TOK. Damned near everything is made in China nowadays, most likely including the keyboard you typed that reply on. Categorically condemning the products of a massive country when you are using them everyday (and you are) without issue is simple prejudice. And the next time one of your your kids toys "falls apart in your hands", bear in mind that it had the name of an American corporation stamped on it. Design, QC, and ultimate responsibility for that product lies with that name, not the factory who followed their orders.

Flips over keyboard and looks....
Yep, my HP keyboard is made in China. It has lasted several years in a work environment without fail.
