loosening dreamcast arcade stick

[nullpointer]

Hi Guys,

I just got a 2nd hand DC arcade stick (the green/grey one)
The buttons all work fine, but the stick seems a little easy to click up/right and stiffer the opposites. I'd also like it to be a little more sensitive anyway (thers a big deadzone). maybe this is how you'd set it up for fighters (I dont play em so I dunno).

Q is.. should i wait a while and hope it works in.. or can i just take it apart and adjust it to be more even and more sensitive..?
If so .. are there any tips/guides?

thnx

The vagueness (and weak durability) is natural to most sticks for console , since they use looser tolerances for cheaper manufacturing process.

Quick answer...I think best to replace with Seimitsu LS-32 stick.

Sanwa. That's what I did, and never looked back!

Axel grease. Pull the bottom off, pull the joystick apart, then lube up and go. Worked wonders for my Fighting Stick. It's loose as hell and feels great. I prefer Lubriplate, but you may want to use something a bit less overkill.
