My arcade stick's stock spring was a wet noodle until I opened it up
I assumed my joystick felt loose because it was cheap, but after swapping the spring in my Sanwa stick at a desk in Portland two weeks ago, the difference was night and day. Anyone else notice the stock parts on these budget sticks are basically placeholders until you crack them open?
My buddy did the same thing with a cheap fight stick and found the gate was molded all wrong too, like it was never meant to be used seriously. Makes you wonder what else they cut corners on that you can't see.
