HAPP Comp joys??
MrMojoZ:
I could see some resistance from people not understanding that IL makes they joysticks they want and refusing to buy anything that dosen't say Happ on it. Lets educate.

Get what you pay for I guess.
I don't like how the joystick will turn 45 degrees or so.
The IL from Licklizzard any better? Or would one of the leaf switch type be better?

I ran across this issue on one yesterday. It is not the "norm" for these sticks, rather what appears to be a QC issue.
Some float and are just fine while others do not.
Starting today, I will be modifying the actuators so that they fit properly before any HAPP Competition sticks purchased from GGG are shipped. Anyone who has recently purchased one from GGG and is seeing this issue can send their actuator back to me and have it fixed at no charge. Anyone else will need to complain to HAPP (and I recommend that you do. It's how these things get fixed.)

It's a $2 difference, so i don't think cost is an issue.
I should have gotten the IL's. I have 2 Happ comps and neither "float". In fact one was so tight I couldn't even get the shaft far enough through to attach the c-clip. It works okay and certainly isn't going anywhere (ever, I think I'll have to saw the shaft off to remove it).
I'm half tempted to drop the $25 to switch to IL's. I think red would look better anyway ;)
RandyT:
Rather than start a new thread on the subject, I'll post an update here and hope that people see it.
I've been working with HAPP to help them remedy this situation, and have sent them samples which I have made the modifications to (I.e. the modded, properly functioning units as they are shipped to our customers), as well as explanations as to what the problem is. I just heard back from them and they now understand it and are addressing the issue.
In the meantime, HAPP will be shipping us the white IL actuators for our current stock of units, which will bring these fully on par with the performance of the IL comp-style sticks without me having to put the extra labor into them. Understand that the out-of-spec actuator issue is still ongoing with many of the currently shipping HAPP Competition sticks, but not with any of the units purchased through GroovyGameGear.
Just wanted to bring the community up to speed on our efforts to get this straightened out.
