I bought 2 of these new. I thought they were 8 ways
and they definetly play like 4 ways. I'd like to
adjust them if possible to be 8 ways. The only things
I can see to tinker with are:

The plastic actuator that goes over the spring and
under the clip thingie. It is the same diameter
most of the length of it except for a small portion
which is a little smaller in diameter. The pictures
that came with the joy show it being placed in
smaller end first. I tried it the other way and it
seems even worse.

There was a metal washer "trapped" inside of the
large housing itself. I doesn't fit through any of
the sides so I assume it needs to be used. I have
been lining it up and placing the shaft through it.

The picture also shows how to adjust the leaf
switches. However I can't make heads or tails of
the pictures. Maybe this would help with the stiff
ness too. These joysticks are *really* stiff.

Any info on these joysticks would be very helpful.
