They are sprung as standard - or at least the ones I got were (maybe
Doepfer got custom ones?)<br>
<br>
You can remove the springs by taking the backs off the pot -
carefully, of course - and make sure the back goes back on firmly to
keep the tension on the stick (otherwise it gets excessively droopy)<div><div class="h5"><br>

<div dir="ltr">well the joysticks arrived from China. they seem

<br>
Having now tested the TBM joystick - good news - it works
nicely like this.<br>
<br>
The mechanism is somewhat similar to the Alps joystick, but
more refined - two hemispherical paths, whereas the Alp one
seems to have one linear and one hemisphere + is overall
much more compact.<br>
<br>
You can move the paddle along the bottom of one axis without
raising the output voltage/resistance - the good thing is
that doesn't mean there's a dead-spot of travel if, for
example, the paddle is in a central position - I checked
that too and change occurs as soon as it leaves the bottom
position.<br>
<br>
I'm noting that I'll need to leave a relatively larger panel
hole for the paddle movement compared with the Alps. I think
the paddle moves to a wider angle than than for the alps -
perhaps 90degree side-to-side compared with 60 for the Alps
(guessing that)<br>
<br>
Best! Tom<span><br>

To my experience all the joysticks built like these
have one problem: you cannot reach a postion "max(X),
max(Y)", because the top mask (right word?) is
circular shaped. I'd always look for a joystick, where
the mask is a square.<br>
