: I have recently received happs new 4 way ball top microswitch joystick. While I am very happy with happs and will continue to order from them, I am very disappointed with this joystick. They only leave 3/4" of space between the top of the base and the bottom of the ball, making it nearly imposible to mount in a wood control panel. The catalog says variable mounting depth, however after talking to tech support to confirm, you can only make is SHORTER by 1/2" to less than a 1/4 shaft. Also the ball is very cheap feeling and rough plastic, not the nice smooth ball on my wico's. the ball is also significantly smaller.
: I suppose people who have a thin control panel may be able to use it, but it has put a major snag in my contal panel as I now have to hunt for a decent joystick to use instead before I can start construction.
: So thats my $.02. Also if anyone knows where I can get a good 4 way ball top Micro switch Joystick, I would appreciate it if you could let me know.
: Thanks
