Nyga NYGACN NJP-308 Fight Stick / Arcade Pad

[@caligulajodorowsky]

My stick was also gritty but not because of a rough surface but because one of the cables was actually INSIDE the gate of the stick. Actually it was starting to chew the cable so the up direction started to fail (that's why I searched for fixes and ended here). I rearranged the cables so they won't get anywhere near the gate and fixed the chewed one. After my "fix" the stick actually works wonders. I suggest opening this ASAP when you get them to avoid this kind of issues. The stick wasn't actually rough and didn't need any sanding but watch the cables !

I know this video is old but can you do a video tutorial on how to round off micro switches. I have seen written tutorials but i would like a video tutorial.

[@Sterling20073]

Gotta pick one of these up, good video. Hoping to sort the stick out with your instructions, a video would of been awesome

[@soldadomrvago]

please make a video show us how you do the changes on your joystick

I just found these on Ebay. Since I started playing arcade games again at a local video game shop. I'm now wanting a universal fight/arcade stick. These don't seem so bad. I mean the only thing I've seen that is the common problem is the joystick but for the price these seems nice.

I feel that the fix to smooth them out is easily justifying of the low pricepoint, the boards that drive this have no latency and are really simple, after repair this is great.

Hey! I purchased one of these recently, and I was wondering how difficult it is to make the modifications you made? At the very least I'd like to sand the microswitch and lube the ball joint! Thanks! (This thing is really just a gateway to getting a nice QANBA or Hori stick!)

[@LBpDC]

Super easy. Step By Step: Remove screws on bottom of arcade stick. Remove cover. Look for arcade stick microswitch enclosure. Pinch sloped tabs holding the backing plate on. Remove backing plate At this point micros are visible, you will clearly see microswitch buttons that are ununiformly ground they are the portion of the microswitch that is the physical button that interacts inversly directionally with the joystick, mine were all VERY poorly ground, thusly causing a rigid and ununiform motion of the fight stick. BE CAREFUL DO NOT SAND OFF TOO MUCH OF THE MICROSWITCH OR IT WILL NOT REACH THE ARCADE STICK SHAFT DISK! Remove (one at a time) the micros, use some fine grit sandpaper 500 grit or more. Round the face of the button giving it a slight bevel at the corners, frequently during sander replace the microswitch to check it is just barely interacting with the fight stick arm disk. Do this to all of them. When you finish, add a little lithium grease (walmart in a tube) around the arcade stick arm disk that interacts with the micros (it is a plastic ring and obvious) Next sand the end of the fight stick, specifically the metal portion of the shaft protruding through the disk, USE COARSE GRIT 60-200 on the end past the lock ring. You may not have to do this depends if it is rubbing against the case. Once done add a little grease to the end of the shaft. Reverse disassembly to reassemble. Optional: Resolder the connections between the boards. and properly splice either with crimping wire couplers or terminate with wire caps (there was atleast one unshielded jumper in mine). Remove board from behind the arcade pad buttons, add 3-5mm small dab of dielectric grease to the backs of the rubber domed contact pads. Add lithium grease to the inside of the plastic button enclosures. Have fun m8

Thank you so so much! The only thing I'm worried about it borking it and ruining the stick, but all the same! Thanks!

[@LBpDC]

Low low risk.

[@mkt-7]

Could you post pictures please it would help a lot. Sorry for bothering you with an old post

[@mynmisoli]

Are the sticks easily upgradable? Are the sticks and buttons all soldered in or are they connected with connectors??

[@bwillythekid8249]

that's the newness

[@stikmalegecko6635]

so where have you tried am between this one and the holi mini suggestions?? how big is it? and thx for the quick response

[@mythingy]

Have you tried attaching both together to PC and play? My concern is if you connect to same controllers to PC , does PC recognize them as 2 separate inputs or just 1

[@swifty1969]

hey buddy!! how did you open the back? I removed all the screws and the back was still stuck to something. I removed the center sticker and there was no screw hole under it. Can you help? thanks!!!

[@andyrodgers5355]

Can the joystick be replaced with a SANWA one? Thanks.

[@swifty1969]

is the joystick section replaceable with those DIY sticks sold on Amazon? Please make a video tutorial to show how you made the mods, thanks!!!

[@TheRatlord74]

Price wise these are super cheap. Great for someone who just wants to try a fight stick out. This one is (at time of writing) around $18 US compared with a mid range one a $150-200 US. You only get what you pay for though.

[@scooottbruh7849]

I wanna buy an arcade stick and this is the only arcade stick available at my country.... I wll ask but did it last long for you?

[@LBpDC]

Still working.

[@stikmalegecko6635]

oh ok I see thx my friend

[@walidattia1405]

Hi, bro thank's for the video , the thing is i've the exact same arcade pad ,but it doesn't get recognized in windows 10. Can u pls help me with any driver? -thank's

[@stikmalegecko6635]

am sorry meant to say which systems have you try them? also size of it?? and could Ya do a gameplay video??

[@LBpDC]

I'm using it with an adapter to convert the ps2 plug to an xbox original plug for use with MAME/ CoinOps

[@stikmalegecko6635]

hi there so pretty much you have to fix it (joystick) in order to play right???

[@LBpDC]

Sadly the joystick is just really rough at first. That said, with regular use the motion would smooth as the rough edges in its micros rounded.

[@adamgonesage]

my joystick came already smooth

[@brtmn0]

Hey I just got this controller and already the downwards direction on the joystick doesn't give any input, the stick isn't right in the center of the black circle. is there any way to fix this?

[@LBpDC]

I suggest you disassemble and verify the motion of down is electrically "making" the microswitch that the stick cam interacts with using a voltmeter and ohming out the normally open terminals.

[@brtmn0]

Thank you, i contacted the seller in the hope I can send this faulty unit back and get a new unit or my money back, if not this is the way I will go, i have troubles getting the back plate of the microswitches open. any tips for that?

[@LBpDC]

I seem to remember some kind of locking tabs holding the cover on.

[@tutlig]

can you please make a tutorial on how to make the joystick a lot better

[@LBpDC]

Yea, at a minimum I may collect a few pictures and put together.

[@Chomakot]

got one of these just for the ball lol

[@stikmalegecko6635]

oh ok thx I see, I see I was wondering If it works with 360 or ps3!!

[@LBpDC]

If you used an adapter, sure. I know it has usb but I cannot remember if that is for PC or ps3.

[@RupertPupkin1982]

Hello friend, thanks for the video. I just purchased one of these arcade sticks and it doesn't work in my Playstation 2. It works fine in my PS1, but does not work AT ALL in my PS2. Any suggestions?

[@LBpDC]

Did you already verify the mode selection is actually doing anything and tone out the connections from circuit board to PS controller socket pinout with a voltmeter to verify continuity?

[@solid_snayke6905]

Nothing worse than bad quality soddering!
