They make decent console sticks, but their PC sticks suck really bad. I was one of the unfortunate persons who bought one. The guy really has NO clue how to use a proper keyboard encoder, in his desire to make it completely "IBM COMPATIBLE", you can't even use more than FOUR INPUTS AT ONE TIME !!!!!!!! at all !!!

And, with two controllers, player 1 causes player 2 to get stuck in a direction That's what he gets for trying to be "100% ibm compatible".

I returned the sticks but had to eat a $25 restocking fee. Maybe he got his act together since then and actually is using a REAL encoder now, but I would not buy from there again.

Also, to add insult to injury, my joystick#1 was defective too; pushing left on the joystick made it go diagonally down if I was not absolutely 100% exact on pushing left at the exact spot!! (i assume one of the switches was badly aligned). And since I didn't want to void any warranty....
