What you are describing appears to be true for the newer Happ Super Joysticks (and not just the HotRod SE). Flipping the actuators only makes the sticks less sensitive to the diagonals (which does make it easier to play 4-way games); however, it seems that you can’t convert them to true 4-way joysticks anymore.

: OK here's an interesting tidbit. It looks as though HotRod used a different set of HAPPS sticks for the old Hotrod 'classic' and the newer Hotrod 'SE'. I rotated the sticks to change each to a 4-way. The older 'classic' is now a straight 4-way controller (no diagonals at all). The newer 'SE' seemed to keep the diagonals and the 4-way games improved a lot (I was able to play both game types well).
