Well, if I swap the joystick and buttons, would the stick be decent then? (I don’t know much about joysticks).

I work at the arcade, so I can probably get a competition* joystick (HAPP) for free. Not sure about buttons though… yet.

22

I’d think it would be pretty decent if you swapped out the parts. I haven’t heard any one reporting having problems with converters or lag yet but the stick did just come out so you never know.

23

How does the stick play out of the box?

24

I like the stick. It requires less throw to work than my competition stick, the buttons im not so hot about, but they work well. and the cord is short i put a review up also.

25

well does anyone have a pic of the cord and how long it is exactly… and can someone tell me since I’m not familiar with sticks and such explain the differences of disadvantages of not having haps parts,no gate and whatever else its missing

26

Happ Arcade parts you will find in actual arcade. The Disadvantage to not having them is that your stick won’t feel like the ones you’d find in the arcades because the ones in the arcades are Happ brand. All joysticks have a gate so don’t worry it’s not missing one.

27

so if i bought this stick, and wanted to replace the buttons and joystick (i don’t know if the microswitches would need to be replaced also) but what exactly would I need?

I am guessing I would need the following:

-joystick

-buttons

-not sure about anything else. also, how hard would the installation be?

28

-joystick
-buttons
-Screwdriver
-Wire Stripper
-(Crimping Tool, and QuickDisconects) or (Soldering Iron, and Rosin Core
Solder)

I’m not sure about the two start and select buttons. From the pictures they look smaller that the rest of the buttons. You might have to do some enlarging of the holes inorder to get some Happ buttons to fit in. In which case you could just use a File.

29

at this point i’m not too worried about the select and start buttons. if i don’t have true arcade feel on them, that isn’t such a big deal.

thanks for the input though.

Since it already has quick disconnects on it, you may not need any tools to swap parts.

31

Yeah but the Quick Connects on the buttons tend to be the smaller ones that you’d want to use for sanwa buttons. I don’t think they are the right size for Happ buttons. The ones on the joystick however are the right size so you wouldn’t need to swap them out for new Quick Connects.

32

well I got the stick tonight (took a while, most stores near philly didn’t have it or were sold out). I like it, but am excited to get some happs buttons and a happs joystick and put them in it and really take it to town.

I’m going to be buying the following:

8 Happ Competition pushbuttons

1 Happ Competition joystick.

Before I go ahead and place this order, will I need anything else? I am only asking as because I’ve never done anything like this before, and want to make sure I am not forgetting something.

thanks

33

sounds like you have a good list

34

just boosting it back up may be helpful for potential buyers

35

if anyone changes the buttons and stick with happ parts, please put up a review and some pics :tup:

36

hey, dose anybody know if the bat from this stick would fit on a comp stick? i would like the bat to remain the same but a comp w/ a hard spring would feel much better.

37

If anyone Mods this stick please post a the full details and diagrams on how you did it. Or at the very lease PM them to me. Thanks!

38

well i took mine apart tonight, to see about putting a new stick inside. The problem that I see is how the stick itself is bolted in. It looks like the rubber trim will have to be pulled off, the plexi top removed, and then whatever is under there to get to the screws. this could turn into a big mess. I’m going to decide by friday if it’s worth it for me to buy the happ parts and mod it, or just buy a really nice stick from byrdo.

39

noones actually claiming to have modded the joy yet, probrably the same fear of the molding not cooperating… that could be ugly. I’m too chicken to touch till one of these hardcore stick modders do it first, but it appears they have dismissed this stick anyway. For now my son uses the SF stick and I use my REDOCTANE mod. If you decide to take the plunge and let us know how it goes. :tup:
