You could try a stiffer spring, Bob Roberts has them for sale for $1 or $2, they're on his clearance page if I remember correctly.
: I just finished my defender panel which came out nice except the happs ultimate 2 way I bought ( I had read some posts saying they weren't that great ) seems kinda flimsy. The plastic actuator that hits the switches isn't very solid and while it does go up/down it also goes to the right
: somewhat, but not the left. I don't have any problems with my WICO 8 ways
: when playing rough games like robotron so my assumption is that it's the
: quality of the joystick. I have a metal control panel so I used
: the short plastic peice. I also have a tendency when playing defender
: when pulling the joystick down to also pull a little to the right in
: case I need to hit reverse, hard sometimes too. Any ideas on how to "tighten" it up, or possibly a different vendor/part that does 2 way only and has the same hole spacing for mounting? Should have bought a real defender joy :(
: any tips appreciated!!
