I have purchased a few of these and had just the opposite problem. In the 4-way mode, they still will go diag, but just barely. In the 8-way mode they work great.
I do know that the joystick can be assembled incorrectly and you will get the results that you are talking about. I believe this happens when the plastic piece that goes over the exposed shaft toward the top is upside down. Check that and see. The flange should be toward the top.
: From the controls section of this site:
: matt(v): If you look at the microswitches you will see that there is a metal lever on it. If you
: bend the end of this lever outward on all four of the switches it makes the diagonals more
: responsive. You don't want to bend them too much or they get so responsive you can't move
: anywhere EXCEPT diagonals.

: : I bought a Happ Control Super Joystick but it seems like the 8-way corners are difficult to read. I tried switching the actuator on the bottom of the shaft with no success. Can anyone give any advice?
