well, it seems like I have the 'competition' joysticks from Happs. I didn't know what kind they were because I got 8 of them from a guy on ebay for a really good price. Now I'm pretty sure that they are the comp. However, they are VERY stiff !, and looking at the Happ site at the exploded views, I notice that they show two springs - standard and heavy. Mine must be the heavy. However, I did order an ultimate joystick a while back that I used for a playstation controller panel - I ordered it because it is switchable 8 and 4 way, but I'm pretty sure it is the standard spring because it's pretty loose. I sure would like to see how it feels with a heavy spring.

Anyway I've seen lately that some of you dont like the ultimate, but I didn't find it all that bad, except that it is a pain to change it from 8 way to 4 way, and it DEFINATELY sucks playing ms. pacman when it is 8 way mode.

So, I guess I'll try the competitions, but I haven't tried the 'super' yet. I talked to Bob Roberts and he said he doesn't carry them anymore because he cant sell them.

thats about it - any opinions ??

Cheers
