Inside a MAS stick

[Reaperman]

Didn't they use all HAPP parts?

Yep. These days MAS sticks come with Chinese-made HAPP parts with 'e-switch' switches as were in my stick. Really stiff. Okay for fighters, painful for shooters.
Back in the day, as I understand it, HAPP used IL-sourced buttons with Cherry switches. So HAPP's buttons feel pretty different now. I don't know why MAS didn't switch over to IL buttons. I guess the HAPP name recognition was more important than selling sticks that didn't feel like crap.

Suzo HAPP just isn't the same as old HAPP.

I think the old HAPP was actually IL, was it not?

Correct.
