I installed a NOS Wico leaf joystick into my Berzerk, and it feels too stiff. It has an 8 way actuator, but it seems really hard to shoot diagonally and be able to run afterward. Berzerk is a game of nano seconds and I can't stand this frickin' delay. My daughter was going nuts this morning trying to get it to fire diagonally. My question is, does the original opto stick feel/behave more like the micro or the leaf joy? I wanna try a micro in here to see if the firing response and accuracy improves. As of today, every 8-way leaf joy I have used has had this issue. Diagonal firing/movement blows. Am I wrong?
 
Well never having used the opto, and only having an 8 way leaf. I replaced it with the longer stick 8way Happ Ultimate micro switch stick. I'm able to get diags pretty good. I don't particularly like the feel but it seems to work good.

Cool. I think I'm gonna try a micro with a longer stick then.
 
I'm in the middle of building my Berzerk panel and I'm putting a P360 in. I have 360's in my mame cab and really like the feel of them for Berzerk.
 
Think I am gonna get one of those HAPP 360's. I had a good game going today and lost 3 men in a row due to the inability to quickly move out after attempting a diagonal shot. Leaf joys blow in this game.
 
I'm with ya dude! My Berzerk has some short PIA to use stick installed in it. Don't know what the PO was thinking.

I'm going to try one of these as well. I am having the same issues as you playing Berzerk.

Thx for the tip.
 
Why not adjust your leafs on your wico stick? If you adjust them closer to the actuator for all for leafs you should be able to hit your diagonals much easier.

Tried that. It still doesn't feel right, nor did the sloppy one that was in there when I got it. Too late now, the Happ 360 is on it's way.
 
i thought i heard cnlmoore was working on reproducing the bat sticks as well.

Yeah. I wanna play it right now though. The panels took like 9 months from payment to shipping. Not complaining, I just don't wanna wait that long for a stick without a base. I'll buy a stick when they are done (that's all he's reproing as far as I know), provided I can mate it with this Happ 360 base.
 
Im so glad my Berzerk has the proper bat stick and I dont have to deal with all this bs...

Bat stick FTW!

I really wish you had a Berzerk. Then you and I could be friends. As it is, I just feel sorry for you.
