[Static X]

i want to replace it with the original neogeo stuff that is in there but it doesnt say "HAPPS" anywhere on the joystick base,,,,i think it was made by neogeo

 

If i cant replace with original parts i need to know whats the best "springyest" sticks to get ?  an i like the kind that limit  your rotation to a 8 pointed star...so you get your corner moves good!

 

any help is appreciated

Go to happcontrols.com > PC arcade > Joysticks. You would be talking about the competition joystick. They are 8 way sticks and ultra quiet. Probably the best sticks on the US market.

I seriously want to know what's everyone got against the "ball" style. I find it more comfortable then the bat.

You and me both. JAP style sticks are blazing fast. It's a noticeable difference between them and US joysticks in my opinion. The top ball grip is a minor thing to get over if you aren't used to it.

Hey legztec, is that a seimetsu joystick in your first pic? If so, where did you get it? Thanks.

I don't even know what a "seimetsu joystick" is.

But I got this one at ultimarc.

Gotcha. Ultimarc has some nice hybrid sanwa stuff. Seimetsu joysticks are pretty much the same as sanwa, but some have a longer shaft so they can be top mounted. In the pic, yours was bottom mounted so I didn't know if you had routed out the wood or had a seimetsu with longer shaft for bottom mounting.

thought i'd update the topic by showing off my updated arcade stick

 

all competition parts and cherry switches except the mode, start, and back/select buttons which i left alone.

NICE I see you got the same sticks as me...you can whale on them hard and they will be fine.

I've always liked the X-arcade version. I use the Solo one.
