Fightstick problem help

Tech Talk
1

my fightstick’s joy stick is becoming really loose to the point where even if i play one game with it, the ball will come off… does anyone else have or had this problem?

2

if the ball comes off you need to open the stick, get a flathead screwdriver and turn the shaft. That should lock it in to my knowledge

3

i mean its not the whole stick inside of the stick, its just the ball on the stick, it unscerews when ever you want to do a fireball or a dragon punch…

  1. open bottom of stick
  2. put the head of flathead screwdriver in the space on the bottom of the shaft
  3. use your free hand to screw on the balltop tightly while keeping the shaft from turning with the screwdriver (you could turn the shaft and hold the ball like homeless said, but I find it easier to do it this way)
    …if that doesn’t work, then I don’t know what to tell you…

its a TE-S by the way, is there anyway i can do it w/o opening to bottom because, i don’t want to void the warranty in anyway…

Pretty sure you can open it through the top using a hex key

Has anyone ever had or have a problem with the buttons not registering sometimes or a button registers when pressing a different button? If so can you please tell me how to fix this. By the way i have a tekken 6 fightstick.

To be technical about it opening the stick at all will void the warranty. The can still tell from markings left on the hex bolts on the top panel.
Ether open your stick up and tighten your ball top or don’t.

Don’t hijack threads. Also your problem is your using a Tekken 6 Fightstick.

If you aren’t using a shaft cover, you can wrap a couple of rubber bands around the shaft and grip it with a pair of pliers, then tighten the balltop by hand. Cut the rubber bands afterwards. Be careful not the scratch the shaft.

If you’re using a shaft cover (if you have a TE-S, you are), your options are to get rid of the shaft cover, or open the stick.

I’d say just open it up. There isn’t anything the MadCatz warranty can do for you that Tech Talk can’t help you out with.

I’m using this from now on.

M3 hex key to remove the top or just remove the bottom panel.
