Has anyone tried jamming some Sanwa buttons into these sticks? Or are peeps just trying to replace springs in the existing?
I picked up some 24mm sanwa buttons to put in but I have to wait till I can get to my buddies house to have them wired solder etc. Figured might as well get cherry switches while im at it and just get it all done. But I've been trying to figure out the spring thing first so I can just do both joysticks all in one go. I think im going to order the other springs off focus attack including the sanwa one and see if anyof them will work. Then if that does not work hell guess I'll have to find a place that sells tons of springs and just take the stick with meand see what I can find.
I've looked around online only sites I come up with for springs are sites that sell i think mass amounts and want you to send in specs for a spring. I just want a dam spring lol that is not some cheapo piece of shit like the on in the remotes currently.I was thinking about just ordering a whole stick for 20 bucks from focus and see if i can just take the board off the bottom of that and put the whole stick in with spring and all.
But I'm trying not to go over board ordering all kinds of stuff lol. The spring I had ordered problem was the spring was to wide and it went right over the Actuator. So I'm going to try a different spring and also order a over sized Actuator from paradise arcade and see if that will work. Guess if none of this keeps working out I'll just have a lot of arcade joystick parts maybe put something together out of that.
The joysticks drive me crazy playing fighting games, so I have to figure out how to make them better. That extra click or whatever it is in them makes me insane just along with the crap quality of the controller over all. I was hopeing the sawna buttons would fit right in even taking them apart but the way things look distance from the board inside for the buttons to the top looks like you would have to wire them in or maybe add some sort of washers under the board to raise it up so the buttons would work. Because the shaft in the middle of them is like 1/4th the length of the regular buttons. I hit a point when i was about to order stuff and try making a completely custom stick just using the boards and usb stuff of course with a custom built box. But i really want to keep the Neo Geo case etc.
BTW lol wife is going insane when I get into stuff like this I get really bad where I pace the house thinking about it and thinking about it trying to figure it out in my head.
