Thanks for the heads up. Though honestly, I prefer the original playstation
controllers from anything else. Once you have that, you don't need anything
else nless you play at tournament levels for a lot of games. And even then,
a lot of tournaments use standard controllers, like EVO, which is the
biggest fighting game tournament around.

Subject: [Audyssey] king of fighters anniversary joystick for the
playstation
Just a heads up on this product. The King of Fighters anniversary joystick
was made to make your fighting game experience that much more enjoyable-
so they said. I payed 65 bucks each for the pair I bought, and right off
the bat, I noticed that these joysticks were extremely tough to use. The
sticks grind horribly when rolled, and to get a half circle from right to
left to work was nearly impossible.
To make a long story short, I went back to using the DS controlers after
trying the joysticks out for the first day, but last weekend, me and my
girlfriend were playing the first Marvel VS Capcom game on the PS1 system,
and we decided to bust out the joysticks. We barely went 3 rounds before
one of the joysticks all of a sudden stopped responding all together.
Yesterday, me and a buddy opened up the joystick to take a look inside,
and here is the problem:
At the base of the stick on the inside of the machine, there is a thin
cross piece made of plastic. This piece is what they put in there to allow
contact between the stick and the actual directional controls. When you
hold the stick in the down position for example, the bottom of the cross
piece inside will angle down and touch the right part of the feedback
board- giving your character the crouch. Problem here is that the plastic
they used is very thin- like the material you see on a CD case- those
break alot too. My girfriend actually snapped off two of four sides of
that crosspiece without knowing or meaning to just playing MVC. As my
buddy demonstrated, you can snap off the remaining legs of the crosspiece
just by pressing on them with your finger tip.
So now we're left with one completely useless joystick, and one that we're
afraid to use.
So, if you're shopping for joysticks, and you come across this model, give
it a wide burst, and those of you who have bought it already, good luck
and be gentle.
