In light of all the recent joystick complaints, I thought it would be interesting to set up a poll to see how many people have this problem. I also divided them into different GP32 types to see if perhaps some GP32s have better build quality than others.

Personally I have a slight problem with the diagonals, but I can still get them if I'm really exact. I own a 1-year-old FLU.
 
Fifth category for me... Whoever read my Tutorial Knows what i mean.

I think there´s gonna be a lot more FLU´s and nifluniblu´s (nifluniblu is spanish and means neither FLU nor BLU :lol: :lol: :lol: ) that have joystick problems than BLUs, simply because BLU units are newer...

My FLU's d-stick works fine. The absolute only problem is that UP+RIGHT diagonal is slightly slightly SLIGHTLY harder to get to, but I can still get it fine without problems, so it doesn't matter.
 
FLU: L feals more responsive then R,
up left is realy hard to get but up right is done with ease and everything else is fine i should think.
 
very interesting poll, though I suspect that different people treat their gp32's a little differently and the rougher you treat the stick the more of the wear you will get inside making it less responsive.

Since I did the fix that fishbong posted, my FLU has a new lease of life. I was amazed how much of the white plastic dust was around the microswitch area showing what a beating it had taken!!
 
It seems from this poll that FLUs are especially susceptible to joystick trouble... very strange.

Or maybe not; you could reason that they all have the same chance for having problems, but non-lit owners use their GP32s less and therefor wear out their joysticks less, and BLU/+ owners haven't had them for very long yet and therefore don't have many problems yet. :ph34r:
 
I should have voted twice, once for each GP32 I own, but I can't... oh well, anyway...

I have a BLU+ that I bought in either March or April of this year, and it has absolutely no joystick problems(but it feels slightly less stiff than it did when I bought it). The FLU I bought in... September or October, I think... it had one or two diagonals that were hard to get, but I fixed it with "The Ultimate Ministick Fix."
