Jason, have you ordered anything from this company. Looks like they are located in Barcelona.

Cheers,

Ed


: This joystick looks identical externally to the Happs Super stick except this the shaft is covered by a chrome sleeve. The Happs supers have a black plastic sleeve. Unlike the supers it is available in a range of colours.

: I had a chance to try this joystick at a trade show recently. It has a shorter throw than the Supers, and a stronger spring.

: What sets it apart from the crowd is the fact that it can be switched between 4 and 8 way operation by flicking a lever. It literally takes seconds.

: Industrias Lorenzo (http://www.industrias-lorenzo.com/cgi-bin/miva?~lorenzo/ficha.mv) is a company located in Barcelona, Spain. They manufacture the joysticks sold by Happs (UK). I'm not sure whether they also supply the US branch of Happs.

: I've been told by someone at Happs (UK) that they can obtain the joystick although it is not listed in Happs catalogue. Alternatively you could obtain it directy from Industrias Lorenzo.

: Andy Warne (seller of the I-Pac) will shortly be selling a joystick on his website and I believe it may be this model.

: : Aaargh, I know this is a FAQ, but last I saw it come up here, no real concensus was reached.

: : I'd like to know what people think about the various Happ joysticks (and other brands, for that matter.) I'm mounting in 3/4" MDF with a 0.093" Lexan overlay. I think I'd prefer microswitches to leaves. Any suggestions?
