I'm seriously loving the PDP stick also.

Only problem I'm having with it is I'm having trouble finding directions consistently. Could I fix that by modding the microswitches or should I just buy a different stick?

It could be one of two things.

1. Its just you getting used to the stick and in a week you'll be fine.

2. It really is the stick. This is definitely possible, especially with modern Happs. They can be very inconsistent from stick to stick. For instance both of my T.E.'s have perfect sticks in them, but yesterday I was playing on 9.95's T.E. and had a distinctly more difficult time jumping foward or backward. Lots of times I would just get a neutral jump. This was more a problem with the actuator perhaps being a little to small. It found UP easy enough but had trouble contacting both UP and LEFT or UP and RIGHT.
At any rate give it a few days to see if you still notice the problem, Happs have a certain break in period as well. If you do, toss the stick and put in an I.L. Eurojoystick.

I will agree with Dark Rob. I changed my stock pdp HAPP stick to an IL Euro. The Euro is more responsive and feels much better. Also you may look into changing the switches from the cheap E-Switches to Cherry Switches.

Yeah change the parts out.

For some reason, the parts in the PDP stick are some weird hybrid Happ stick. Definitely not like their recent/old stuff.

I'm becoming best friends with the stick because I want to do well at the Vegas tournament :)

I tried using the combat panel too though, the other day and man it was so much easier for me (since I'm accustomed to JPN sticks).

At some point when I'm not broke I plan on getting a TE and an Ultimate panel. I played on Tim's and it was pretty great. I am fine on pad or Happ for MK9, but I think I would really like the panel for UMK3 where down/back and run jabs are so important.

The combat panel works great for MK9 as well. If anyone already has a Madcatz T.E. and wants an affordable way to get the MK layout the combat panel is the way to go. The mod is simple, a child could do it.
They are back in stock but dont expect them to last long so get em while the gettings good.

Im also trying to play this on the PDP stick. the layout is so hard to get used to after playing sf/marvel for years. im also finding big issues jumping forward or back with the HAPP stick. i dont see it lasting in my panel much longer. I love the stiffness of it though. find dashing so much easier then on all my sanwa stuff.

Socks replace the Happ stick with the I.L. Eurojoystick. Happ sticks are not what they were 20 years ago(When they were infact made by I.L. anyway)

Why am I so tall?
Yeah, I personally love the PDP stick, no regrets at all. The best thing about it is that it feels sturdy. As well-made as the MadCatz and HORI sticks are, I always feel like I'm going to break the damn thing(even though that isn't likely).

What kind of difference would I find in changing out the switches? Would it make the stick more accurate?

I've been loving the Sanwa on the SF TE because of the precision, but I love the stiffness and roundness of HAPP/IL parts.

The Happ E-Switches are prone to failure. When they work, they work fine but they are known to not last as long. Accuracy problems can be attributed to one of two things.
1)Your new on this type of stick and your execution isnt quite up to snuff yet.

or

2)Assuming your microswitches all work what you probably have is a contact problem with the actuator. Ever since Happ broke away from I.L. and began making they're own parts in China they're quality has been inconsistent at best. In some chinese made Happs the actuators are actually routed to small and dont spin freely on the shaft. They can get stuck in certain positions making it difficult sometimes to hit diagonals.

Replace the stock Happ stick with an I.L. Eurojoystick and see if that solves your problem. Good luck.
