Hate to bump an older thread, but I'm having this problem with my Happ trigger stick (Tron stick).
Isucamper- when you mention the actuator, are you referring to the white plastic block?
If so, I wonder if it might be possible to make a new actuator (out of wood) that is shaved down a bit. Although it would probably rotate if it's shaved down too much.
Unless you could line it with some spongy foam material. Has anyone else run into this problem and figured out a solution?
It's screwing up my Discs of Tron games, heh.
isucamper:
on the rotary sticks, the actuator is not removable
DashRendar:
I wonder if the metal leaves on the microswitches can be bent a bit (without snapping) to better control the contacts.
Or shave down the red switch buttons themselves in the microswitches.
This Happ trigger stick was VERY expensive, and right now it's nearly unusable. Just like what you guys ran into with your Happ rotaries, it is too sensitive and not detecting movement right.
isucamper:
yeah, I know what you mean
I fiddled with it a while before giving up and deciding to live with it
what did actually work for a little while is taking the microswitches off and taping them back on a few centimeters further from the shaft. of course, this only lasts for a day or two before your switches are falling off the stick. if there was a better way to reattach them, this would be a good solution, but I couldn't find one. basically, I was taping them on top of the grooves that hold them in place. This switches don't sit flush with the base, but they don't need to.
honeslty, if your actuator is removable, that'll be your best bet. I think people were replacing actuators on the competitions a while back and it fixed the issue for them. I tried filing the actuator down, but that was too much work.
